John Bartlett (1820–1905).  Familiar Quotations, 10th ed.  1919.
 
 
NUMBER:2894
AUTHOR:Joseph Henshaw (d. 1678)
QUOTATION:Man’s life is like unto a winter’s day,—
Some break their fast and so depart away;
Others stay dinner, then depart full fed;
The longest age but sups and goes to bed.
O reader, then behold and see!
As we are now, so must you be.
ATTRIBUTION:Horæ Sucissive (1631).
