- Fair Lady, throw those costly robes aside,
- No longer may you glory in your pride;
- Take leave of all your carnal vain delight,
- I'm come to summon you away this night.'
- 'Talk not of noon! you may as well be mute;
- There is no time at all for vain dispute,
- Your riches, gold, and garments,jewels bright,
- Your house, and land, must on new owners light.' - Death and the Lady by Lesley Nelson-Burns
