Do not grieve.
Misfortunes will happen
to the wisest and best of men.
Death will come,
always out of season.
It is the command of the Great Spirit,
and all nations and people must obey.
What is past
and what cannot be prevented
should not be grieved for ...
Misfortunes do not flourish
particularly in our lives -
they grow everywhere.
