Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak; remember, Lord, how short my time is; remember that I am but flesh, a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. My days are as grass, as a flower of the field; for the wind goeth over me, and I am gone, and my place shall know me no more.
Lancelot Andrewes (1861). “The Devotions of Bishop Andrewes: Translated from the Greek and Arranged Anew”, p.138
