1. Enjoy life, for you are mortal
And you are afflicted by the hands of fate

2. Do not put off today out of frivolity until tomorrow
And who can guarantee tomorrow will be safe from calamity?

3. For I have seen time hasten with the youth
And move him through two differing states

4. As for what has passed, it is the dreams of a sleeper
And as for what remains, they are merely hopes
