"Wędrowiec w drodze życia mdłą stargawszy siłę / Wkrótce rzucę co miłe i co mi nie miłe. / Bez trwogi, nie bez żalu, widzę kres zbliżony, / Który znagla w nieznane przeniesie mnie strony. / W tę spokojną uchronę gdzie wieczność przebywa / I którą chmura pełna tajemnic okrywa." / (Wiersz przedśmiertny E.
