There is no life that hath not many an ill,
Griefs, losses, cares, disease, new torments still,
From which death only, that physician blest,
Sets free the sufferer and gives him rest.
οὐκ ἔστι βίος ὃς οὐχὶ κέκτηται κακά,
λύπας, μερίμνας, ἁρπαγάς, στρεβλάς, νόσους·
τούτων ὁ θάνατος καθάπερ ἰατρὸς φανεὶς
ἀνέπαυσε τοὺς ἔχοντας ἀναπαύσας ὕπνῳ.
λύπας, μερίμνας, ἁρπαγάς, στρεβλάς, νόσους·
τούτων ὁ θάνατος καθάπερ ἰατρὸς φανεὶς
ἀνέπαυσε τοὺς ἔχοντας ἀναπαύσας ὕπνῳ.
