Ne lacrima pro morte mea; sed pro tibi vita
gaude: sat nam habeo, scire hilarem fore te. Non lacrimarum me mareve oceanusve tuarum restituet vastus: verte oculos alio. Nobis fert finem vitae aeterna omnibus Aetas: vive prius felix, quam tibi fertque tuam. |

Do not weep for my death; but yet rejoice
In thine own life: for I shall be content To know that thou wilt live on joyfully. No sea, nor boundless ocean of thy tears Will bring me back: direct thy gaze elsewhere. Eternal Time must bring to each of us An end to life: thus live on happily Before he brings an end to life to thee. |
