From The Two Lovers of Heaven: Chrysanthus and Daria A Drama of Early Christian Rome by Pedro Calderón de la Barca

male · philosophical · 42 sec

A brave soldier of the line, On his death-bed lying ill, Spoke thus, "Item, 't is my will, Gallant friends and comrades mine, That you 'll bear me to my grave, And although I 've little wealth, Thirty reals to drink my health Shall you for your kindness have". Thus the hope as vain must be After death one's love to wed, As to drink one's health when dead. (Nisida advances from the garden.) (CHRYSANTHUS: But what maid is this I see Hither through the garden wending?) If you take a stroll with me Plenty of her sort you 'll see.
