Quote by John Fletcher, The Bloody Brothe
He who goes to bed, and goes to bed sober,Falls as the leaves do, and dies in October;But he who goes to bed, and goes to bed mellow,Lives as he ought to do, and dies an honest fellow.
Summary

It suggests that those who go to bed sober, meaning without any indulgence or pleasure, lead unfulfilled lives akin to leaves that fall and die in October. On the other hand, those who go to bed mellow, meaning content and satisfied, live a life of satisfaction and integrity, dying as honest individuals. The quote highlights the importance of fully experiencing and enjoying life, suggesting that true fulfillment comes from being mellow rather than abstaining.
