He longs to live on; and if life is prolonged for him,
He yearns for immortality, though immortality prolongs for him
And his soul attains its wishes in it,
His soul therein has realized its desires

Continued life leaves him preoccupied with himself,
Immortality remains for him, in his soul, as occupation
Because of the ravages of decay he sees within it.
For what he sees of the vicissitudes of decay in it
