13. If I had died then, I would be at rest now,
14. sleeping like the kings and rulerswho rebuilt ancient palaces.
15. Then I would be sleeping like princeswho filled their houses with gold and silver,
16. or sleeping like a stillborn child.
17. In the grave wicked people stop their evil,and tired workers find rest at last.
18. Even prisoners enjoy peace,free from shouts and harsh commands.
19. Everyone is there, the famous and the unknown,and slaves at last are free.
20. Why let people go on living in misery?Why give light to those in grief?
