I who lie this stone below
For the Day of Judgment wait,
From life's weary fevered state
Resting now.
Who I was thou wouldest hnow -
Listen therefore unto me:
For as l am thou shalt be
And I once was even as thou.
Reader, since it is decreed
That all things must come to this,
Look in what thy mirror is,
And, seeing, to thyself give heed.
O gram juízo esperando
jazo aqui nesta morada
também da vida cansada
descansando.
Pregunta-me quem fui eu,
atenta bem pera mi,
porque tal fui como a ti
e tal hás de ser como eu.
E pois tudo a isto vem,
ó leitor de meu conselho,
toma-me por teu espelho,
olha-me, e olha-te bem.
