Do not pass my epitaph, traveler
But having stopped, listen and learn, then go your own way
There is no boat in Hades, no ferryman Charon
No caretaker Aiakos, no dog Cerberus
All we who are dead below
Have become bone and ashes but nothing else
I have spoken to you honestly, go on traveler
Least even while dead I seem talkative to you
Ancient Roman Tombstone
