    My temples are white, my head largely bald.Graceful youth has departed from my face,and my teeth are the loose teeth of an old man.I have few years left of sweet life.Therefore I tremble and fear the underworld,for the lightless chasm of death is dreadfuland the descent appalling: once cast downinto Hell there is no return.
