Examples
“untimely remarks”
“an untimely death”
“The heroes of literary as well as civil history have been very often no less remarkable for what they have suffered, than for what they have atchieved^([sic]); and volumes have been written only to enumerate the miseries of the learned, and relate their unhappy lives, and untimely deaths.”
“Untimely blossom! Poor, impatient thing, / That, starting rashly from the sheltering mould, / Bravest the peevish wind and sullen cold, / Mistaking thine own ardors for the spring”
