My soul is devoted to him who is worthy of it
If I lay my head in his footsteps, the earth will seem soft
It may be that you know for certain what is hell
Hell-upon-earth is the society of unworthy people.
Payne 1898 - 247
At Balkh or at Baghdad what matters? Die we must.
The cup full, what skills sweet or bitter, pain or lust?
Drink wine, for many a moon will pass from full to new
And new to full again, when thou and I are dust.
Thompson 1906 - 834
My life a good man's sacrifice shall be,
I 'd lay my head at his feet readily.
If you would know for certain what is Hell,
A Hell on earth is evil company.
Whinfield 1883 - 232
To please the righteous life itself I sell,
And, though they tread me down, never rebel;
Men say, "Inform us what and where is hell?"
Ill company will make this earth a hell.
