O mors, quam amara est memoria tua
Language: Latin
O mors, quam amara est memoria tua homini pacem habenti in substantiis suis: viro quieto, et cujus viæ directæ sunt in omnibus, et adhuc valenti accipere cibum! O mors, bonum est judicium tuum homini indigenti, et qui minoratur viribus, defecto ætate, et cui de omnibus cura est, et incredibili, qui perdit patientiam!

O mort que ton souvenir est amer
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin
O mort que ton souvenir est amer à l'homme qui vit en paix au milieu de ses biens, à l'homme tranquille à qui tout réussit, et qui est encore en état de goûter la nourriture! O mort, que ton souvenir est amer, ô mort, ton arrêt est doux à l'indigent dont les forces s'épuisent, qui est au déclin de l'âge, travaillé de soucis, qui n'a plus de confiance et qui perd patience! O mort que tu es douce!
