TRANSLATION FROM MIMNERMUs

But we spring'up like leaves, Astounding with
many flowers, in the season Of the Spring, when
the brightness of the Sun causes them to grow
Like them. we are delighted short season with
the flowers of youth unconscious either of evil or
good from the gods. The Fates stand near him..
whose life is but breath; one pointirgto peevsh
old age, and another todeath itself. How evanes-
cent the fruit of youth just lkethe sunny ray,
which warns the earth. utwhen this vernal sea-
has passed away then it is far better to die than
to be living: for many are the evils that men suffer
in their minds. They are afflicted with domestic
conflicts, and the burdens of poverty bringing
along with it its sorrows. One longs for children
he ardenly coves them, and goes from earth to the
invisible world. Another suffers Notwithstanding
disease nor is there single mortal to whom Jove
hath not distributed many sorrows.--ReU. Jones.
