Upon this account it was that death hath been, even by the heathens, looked upon as an advantage. When those two famous carpenters, Agamedes, and Trophonius, had built a Temple for Apollo at Delphos, they begg'd of him a Reward: To whom this answer was given by the Oracle, That it should be conferred on them within nine daies; within which time they died. And when Cydippe begg'd of Juno a boon for her two Sons, Cleebis and Byto, she found them in the morning dead in their beds, as if the Gods could not bestow a greater benefit than death, by which men are freed from the calamities of life. |
