LACRIMAE RERUM by PALLADAS

First Line: WEEPING I CAME TO LIFE, WEEPING I GO
Last Line: SWEPT UNDER EARTH TO LIE AND ROT BELOW!
Subject(s): TEARS;

WEEPING I came to life, weeping I go;
All life I found one weeping tale of woe.
Ah piteous weeping race of feeble men,
Swept under earth to lie and rot below!
