      “For the day shall come to each

      When earth's voices sound no more;

      Dead men hear no mourners' speech,

      Tears can not restore.

      [pg 126]

      “Eat and drink in peace to-day,

      When you go, your goods remain;

      He who fares the last long way

      Comes not back again.”

      Still more hopeless are the words put into the mouth of the wife of the high priest of Memphis at the close of the first century before our era—

      “O my brother, my spouse, and my friend,

      High priest of Memphis!

      Cease not to drink and to eat,

      To fill thyself with wine, and to make sweet love;

      Enjoy each festive day and follow thy desire,

      Let not care enter thy heart

      All the years that on earth thou remainest.

      The underworld is a land of thick darkness,

      A sorrowful place for the dead.

      They sleep, after their guise, never to awaken

      And behold their comrades.

      Their father and their mother they know not,

      No yearning for their wives and their children do they feel.”87

      [pg 127]
