For grief can bring on death, and heartache can sap one’s strength.
For grief can lead to death, and a grieving heart can sap one’s strength.
For grief may result in death, and a sorrowful heart saps one’s strength.
For grief may result in death, and a sorrowful heart saps one’s strength.
For grief may result in death, and a sorrowful heart saps one’s strength.
For grief may result in death, and a sorrowful heart saps one’s strength.
For sorrow results in death, and sorrow of heart saps one’s strength.
For sorrow results in death, and sorrow of heart saps one’s strength.
For why death hast(en)eth of (or from) sorrow, and covereth virtue (or strength); and the sorrow of heart boweth the head. [Of sorrowy sloth forsooth hieth death, and covereth virtue; and sorrowy sloth of heart boweth the noll.]
