W.S. Gilbert Quotes

Is Life A Boon?
If So, It Must Befall
That Death, Whene'er He Call,
Must Call Too Soon.
Though Fourscore Years He Give,
Yet One Would Pray To Live
Another Moon!
What Kind Of Plaint Have I,
Who Perish In July?
I Might Have Had To Die,
Perchance, In June!

Is Life A Thorn?
Then Count It Not A Whit!
Man Is Well Done With It;
Soon As He's Born
He Should All Means Essay
To Put The Plague Away;
And I, War-worn,
Poor Captured Fugitive,
My Life Most Gladly Give -
I Might Have Had To Live,
Another Morn!
