The Man's Last Wish
    (Mannens sista vilja)

    My dear wife, listen now
    And promise while you tarry,
    That when I die you'll vow
    That you and Per won't marry.
    My last wish you'll obey now, won't you?
    For otherwise I'll come and haunt you.

    The wife:
    Dear husband, die in peace.
    This promise I am making.
    Your worrying can cease.
    This vow I'm never breaking.
    I swear that Per and I won't wed,
    For I have promised Sven instead.

By Anna Maria Lenngren 1759-1817 (Translated from Swedish by Philip K. Nelson in 1984)

"Beauty plus pity — that is the closest we can get to a definition of art. Where there is beauty there is pity for the simple reason that beauty must die: beauty always dies, the manner dies with the matter, the world dies with the individual.” Nabokov
