Homo natus de muliere, brevi vivens tempore,

Man that is born of a woman

Language: English after the Latin

Our translations: FRE SPA

Man that is born of a woman hath but
A short time to live, and is full of misery.
He cometh up, and is cut down like a flow'r;
He flee'th as it were a shadow, and ne'er
Continueth in one stay.
