3.--Months of comfortless misfortune.
I am made to possess--literally, "to be heir to." Irony. "To be heir
to," is usually a matter of joy; but here it is the entail of an

Months--for days, to express its long duration.
Appointed--literally, "they have numbered to me"; marking well the
unavoidable doom assigned to him.
