In the destined time when my business you will prepared
Make all the bed of my dust smooth from trouble
When you will set a brick in the earth of the tomb
Take heed that you make mine the water of its clay.
Payne 1898 - 320
In the hour of the Term when an end of my case THEY make,
Look no vain words o'er my resting-place they make;
And when on my tomb the tile they will set, be sure
lts clay that with wine, not water base, they make.
Thompson 1906 - 750
In death's hour when my case the Fates array,
No idle words at my bed let them say.
When men set at my grave a tile, be sure
That they with wine (not water) shape its clay.
