St. Philip Howard - A Fourfold Meditation: On the Four Last Things
Listen now
Description
"Thou findest here what thou wilt wish at last,
And that account which none can ever shun;
Then frame thy life before thy time be past,
As thou wilt wish that thou in time hadst done:
Lest thou in vain doth wail thy wretched state,
When time is past and wailing comes too late."
A poem by Philip Howard, 13th Earl of Arundel (1557-1595), an English nobleman, translator, and one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.
