+I am not surrendered to the locking away of hearts of love in the ground of graves.
+So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, from times before memory:
+Into Sheol they leave, the wise and beautiful minds. With crowns
+Of lilies and of laurel they leave; but I am not surrendered.

 With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.
