Valour
Can we escape from death?
The days of human beings are numbered
Everything they do is vain
If you are already afraid of death
What is the use of calling yourself a hero?
Shall I go first
Walk in front of you?
If I fall
My name will gain eternal fame
I will have begun the struggles
To cut down the cedars
Epic of Gilgamesh
(2500 B.C.)
