Longevity ought to be highly valued by men of piety and parts, as it will enable them to be much more useful to mankind, and especially to their own country. As to others, it is no great matter, since they are a disgrace to mankind, and their death is rather a service to the public.
—Luigi Cornaro
A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
