Epitaph of Seikilos

[celloboi]

I am addicted to this piece of music, one of the earliest western musical notation.

Hoson zēs, phainou
Mēden holōs sy lypou;
Pros oligon esti to zēn
To telos ho chronos apaitei

While you live, shine
Don't suffer anything at all;
Life exists only a short while
And time demands its toll.
