Be happy for there will be immense anxiety
The spirit will be wailing after the body
These skulls that you are once
Will be under the feet of the potters.
Payne 1898 - 384
Live merry, for time still a-flying will be
And souls after bodies still crying will be;
This cup of the skull, that with passion 's a-brim,
'Neath the foot of the potter soon lying will be.
Thompson 1906 - 476
Live blithely for Time will be passing by.
And every soul will for its body cry.
Yon skull-cup that you see with passion filled,
Beneath the feet of potters soon will lie.
