Cébès: I shall be the first to die.
I have been weighed in the balance and found wanting.
I have not strength enough to rise and walk.
Yes! What a thing it is to live!
What an astonishing thing it is
Only to live! What a mighty thing it is, only to live!
He who lives
And treads the earth under his feet, what does he envy the gods?
I die,
And only ask to once again behold him.
