Walter Raleigh quote: O eloquent, just, and mighty Death! whom none could advise...

Oh Muerte elocuente, justa y poderosa! a quien nadie pudo aconsejar, tú has persuadido; lo que nadie se atrevió, tú lo has hecho; y a quien todo el mundo ha halagado, tú sólo has echado del mundo y despreciado. Has reunido toda la grandeza, todo el orgullo, la crueldad y la ambición del hombre, y lo has cubierto todo con estas dos estrechas palabras: ¡Hic jacet!

O eloquent, just, and mighty Death! whom none could advise, thou hast persuaded; what none hath dared, thou hast done; and whom all the world hath flattered, thou only hath cast out of the world and despised. Thou hast drawn together all the far-stretched greatness, all the pride, cruelty, and ambition of man, and covered it all over with these two narrow words, Hic jacet! - Walter Raleigh
