PyramidSong

=== A harpist's hymn dating from about 1160 B.C. ==

So seize the day! hold holiday!

Be unwearied, unceasing, alive

you and your own true love;

Let not the heart be troubled during your

sojourn on Earth,

but seize the day as it passes!

(Translated by J.L. Foster, Excerpt)

Found on the tomb of Inherkhawy, a supervisor of workers at the royal burial ground in the ancient city of Thebes.--[http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/04/0416_040416_pyramidsongs.html]
