Eclesiastés 4

Ond’io ho stimato i morti, che son già morti, più felici de’ vivi che son vivi tuttora;

Y alabé yo los finados que ya murieron, más que los vivientes que hasta ahora están vivos.

Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.

Therefore I praised the dead who have been long dead more than the living who are yet alive.
