"So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravanwhich moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged by his dungeon; but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams."
Poem by, William Cullen Bryant.

Jason had made his peace with God and may he rest in peace.
