The great messenger of mortality; or, a dialogue betwixt Death and a beautiful lady : From whence it appears that death is no respecter of persons either for birth or beauty; so that as sure as we are born, we shall certainly die: therefore let us prepare ourselves against that hour and time, that he may appear as a welcome messenger, that brings glad tidings. Tune of, Farewel my heart's delight.
