Ama kaçış yok ecelden, zamanı geldiğinde her insan,
en sevgili kullar bile göçüp giderler bu dünyadan.
Ne rüzgar eserdi orada ne yağmur yağardı, kar bile düşmezdi,
yaz günlerinin bulutsuz havası
ve bembeyaz parlaklığı hüküm sürerdi;
mutlu tanrılar işte orada tadını çıkarırdı günlerinin.
Elbette ki tanrılar her insana bağışlamazlar
iyi bir beden, akıl ya da topluluk önünde konuşma yeteneği
Kiminin yüz güzelliği diğerlerinden aşağıdır ama
tanrı onun varlığını tatlı dille taçlandırmıştır

breakfast first, then go out to tend the swine of our master.
But we two, sitting here in the shelter, eating and drinking,
shall entertain each other remembering and retelling
our sad sorrows. For afterwards a man who has suffered

A guest never forgets the host who has treated him kindly.
Homer[B]ut it is only what happens, when they die, to all mortals.
The sinews no longer hold the flesh and the bones together,
and once the spirit has let the white bones, all the rest
of the body is made subject to the fire's strong fury,
but the soul flitters out like a dream and flies away.
Nay if even in the house of Hades the dead forget their dead, yet will I even there be mindful of my dear comrade.
