If they took him to the cemetery and laid him in a grave, he would allow himself to be covered with earth, and then, as it was night, the grave-diggers could scarcely have turned their backs before he would have worked his way through the yielding soil and escaped. He hoped that the weight of earth would not be so great that he could not overcome it. If he was detected in this and the earth proved too heavy, he would be stifled, and then—so much the better, all would be over.

So it is that the gods do not give all men gifts of grace - neither good looks nor intelligence nor eloquence. (Just 361)
Ok... so I modified it a bit to suit my vanity....
