Death Is Easier Than A Wretched Life;

From Him [death] Alone Of All The Powers Of Heaven Persuasion Holds Aloof.

They Who Prosper Take On Airs Of Vanity.

Old Age Hath Stronger Sense Of Right Than Youth.

Who, Except The Gods, Can Live Time Through Forever Without Any Pain?

The Gods At Will Can Shape A Gladder Strain, And From The Lamentations At The Graveside, A Song Of Triumph May Arise.
