The Dying Christian to His Soul

The Dying Christian to His Soul by Alexander Pope

Pope's examination of a person with his religion here is very interesting. As he dies, he pleads to the heavens to come take him, to come show him the way to salvation. And, because he is a Christian, they do, and he feels no pain of death, only the ascension to Heaven. It is also an interesting take on karma, as someone is being rewarded for their faith.
