The man who loved his life so over-much,

Sleep in my urn. It is so horrible,

I dare at times imagine to my need

Some future state revealed to us by Zeus,

Unlimited in capability

For joy, as this is in desire for joy,

—To seek which, the joy-hunger forces us:

That, stung by straitness of our life, made strait

On purpose to make prized the life at large—

Freed by the throbbing impulse we call death,
