The lifespan of men is measured at a hundred years; half of that is spent in the night; of the remaining half, a bit more than half is spent in the period of childhood; / some is spent in service to kings, in sorrow over separation from relatives, and in death; the remainder is as flickering as the crest of a water wave—what use is pride to proud men?
