On him who wields power gently, the god looks favorably from afar.
Tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.
Mourn for me rather as living than as dead.
To mourn and bewail your ill-fortune, when you will gain a tear from those who listen, this is worth the trouble.
They sent forth men to battle, But no such men return; And home, to claim their welcome, Come ashes in an urn
Suffering brings experience.
