XXXI

Vita mihi mors est; morior si coepero nasci;
Sed prius est fatum leti quam lucis origo,
Sic solus Manes ipsos mihi dico parentes.

Peck:

My life is death, for life and death are one,
Destruction first and then new light begun,
My parents are the Manes, I alone their son.

Ohl:

My death is life; I die whene'er my birth begins. But death's fated end precedes the light of life's beginning. Thus I alone can call the very shades my parents.
