Ask For A Brave Soul That Has No Fear Of Death, Deems Length Of Life The Least Of Nature's Gifts And Is Able To Bear Any Kind Of Sufferings, Knows Neither Wrath Nor Desire And Believes The Woes And Hard Labors Of Hercules Better Than The Loves And Feasts And Downy Cushions Of Sardanapalus.

The Short Bloom Of Our Brief And Narrow Life Flies Fast Away. While We Are Calling For Flowers And Wine And Women, Old Age Is Upon Us.

Now We Suffer The Evils Of A Long Peace; Luxury More Cruel Than War Broods Over Us And Avenges A Conquered World.

The Man Whose Purse Is Empty Can Cheerfully Sing Before The Robber.
