should I wait that my address should die and as it were be buried with
thee? Although the sight and form of thy lifeless body, and its

I utter the last farewell, declare peace to thee, and pay the last
kiss. Go before us to that home, common and waiting for all, and
certainly now longed for by me beyond others. Prepare a common
dwelling for him with whom thou hast dwelt, and as here we have had all
things in common, so there, too, let us know no divided rights.
