William Dunbar: Selected Poems Reviews
-
Our plesance heir is all vane glory,
This fals warld is bot transitory,
The flesche is brukle, the Fend is sle;
Timor mortis conturbat me
The stait of man dois change and vary,
Now sound, now seik, now blith, now sary,
Now dansand mery, now like to dee;
Timor mortis conturbat me
No stait in erd her standis sickir;
As with the wynd wavis the wickir,
Wavis this warldis vanite;
Timor mortis conturbat me
