Sewing at once a double thread,

A shroud as well as a shirt.

Thomas Hood (1798-1845): The Song of the Shirt.

I stood

Among them, but not of them; in a shroud

Of thoughts which were not their thoughts.

Lord Byron 1788-1824: Childe Harold's Pilgrimage. Canto iii. Stanza 113.

The knell, the shroud, the mattock, and the grave,

The deep damp vault, the darkness and the worm.

Edward Young (1684-1765): Night Thoughts. Night iv. Line 10.
