The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare: To die vpon the hand I loue so well.
Enter.
Ob. Fare thee well Nymph, ere he do leaue this groue,
Thou shalt flie him, and he shall seeke thy loue.

Where Oxslips and the nodding Violet growes,
Quite ouer-cannoped with luscious woodbine,
A Midsummer Night's Dream |
