Will someone help me with a translation of a Latin story?
Oh, the poor old man, who in the death should be held so they do not see a long life for! Is the death of For clearly is negligible, if exstingiut the soul, or even desirable is, if he bringeth down their spirit at where will be the eternal. What, then, I fear, if it is either utterly wretched after the death of, or even the most blessed shall I be? But the young man hopes that he will live for a long time to be; hope the old man can not be. Fools the young man a hope is for what more foolish than to uncertainty for certainty, falsehood for truth? The old man, to whom were removed without any hope, and yet it is more blessed than the young man, and the lesser ones have a care, for I have it that he (a young man) he hopes for'll be here soon (old man), has; he desired her to live for a long time, here in a long time. And yet, O ye good gods, what is it 'for a long time' in man 's nature? For even if he will have lived a very long time (I had, as I see it recorded, Arganthonius certain man, who had lived a hundred and twenty years), it seems to me no great time in any thing in it has an extreme. Indeed the hours and for days and months and years, the time nor the past is recalled at any time can be ____? nor a future. A time that is given to us, because we ought to be happy and be content with.
