Do People Moulder Equally

Do People Moulder Equally - meaning Summary
Defiant Claim of Immortality
The speaker questions whether all people truly decay the same, presenting a personal, defiant testimony against being dead despite burial or burial imagery. Drawing on Jesus’ reported promise that some "shall not taste of Death," the speaker treats that assurance as literal and immediate proof that death has been overcome. The poem mixes bodily imagery and religious conviction to insist on a present, experiential immortality: the speaker refuses philosophical or scientific doubt and claims direct witness that death is defeated.
