A Man's Ingress into the World, is naked and bare,
His progress through the World, is trouble and care.
And lastly, his egress out of the World, is nobody knows where.
To Conclude.
If we do well here, we shall do well there,
I can tell you no more, if I preach a whole year. (citato in The Eccentricities of John Edwin, vol. I, p. 74)

The Eccentricities of John Edwin (second edition, 1791), vol. i. p. 74. These lines Edwin offers as heads of a "sermon". Longfellow places them in the mouth of "The Cobbler of Hagenau," as a "familiar tune". See "The Wayside Inn, part ii. The Student's Tale".
