Grief has indeed wasted my body—so is there
Grief has wasted my body away. Is there
a way for this body to escape its grief?
No escape for this body from its grief?

And misfortunes did not make me ill,
Misfortunes have not made me sick at heart.
nor was I troubled by them before.
Nor was I shaken by them before now.
