Dead Language
Words endure while man decays with age
That is, ars longa, vita brevis.
Before you die, turn another page.
Cry to eternity in your rage
Rage on, cry miserere nobis!
Cries endure, while man decays with age.
Death is something you cannot gauge;
It begins ab incunanbulis
Before you die, turn another page.
Though written upon one single page,
Each utterance is de profundis.
Death endures, while man decays with age.
This is a poem whose words are sage;
Verity lives totidem verbis.
Before you die, turn another page.
Your body is just a mortal cage
Whose key is the phrase: hic sepultus.
Words endure, while man decays with age;
Before you die, turn another page.
