Where did the phrase As you are I once was As I am so shall you be come from?

Megadeth "So far So Good So What"--the song "Mary Jane"???--1990

"Beauty's Lot: As I Now Am, So You Shall Be," 1778Beautys Lot

Adorn'd with Tates, I well could Boast, Of Tons and Macaronys Toast;

I once was Fair, Young, Frisky, Gay, Could Please with songs and Dance the Hay

Dear Belle's reflect Ye Morals see, As I now am, so You shall be.

Pub as the act directs Feb. 1, 1778...

Probably Horace, "Eram quod es, Eris quod sum" or was it..

"quod tu es, ego fui, quod ego sum, tu Eris" or some such thing, I never can remember.

In short,,,probably best to go with Megadeth

Horace, "Eram quod es; Eris quod sum"
