Summary

This quote from the book of Job in the Bible makes a metaphorical comparison between the fading of the waters from the sea and the passing of human life. Just as the sea can dry up and disappear, so does life come to an end for individuals. The quote emphasizes the finality of death, suggesting that once a person dies, they will not awaken or rise again until the end of time. It highlights the transient nature of life and the inevitability of mortality.

If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mend

If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended,That you have but slumbered hereWhile these visions did appear.And this weak and idle theme,No more yielding but a dream,Gentles, do not reprehend:If you pardon, we will mend:And, as I am an honest Puck,If we have unearned luckNow to 'scape the serpent's tongue,We will make amends ere long;Else the Puck a liar call;So, good night unto you all.Give me your hands, if we be friends,And Robin shall restore amends.
