Non possum nasci, si non occidero matrem.
Occidi matrem, sed me manet exitus idem:
Id mea mors patitur, mea quod iam fecit origo.

Peck:

To live at all, my mother I must kill:
I killed my mother — her lot waits me still,
So death and birth one destiny fulfill.

Ohl:

I cannot be born, if I shall not have killed my mother. I have killed my mother, but the same end awaits me. My death undergoes what my birth has already caused.

Give up? Here's the answer.
