To mourn and bewail your ill-fortune, when you will gain a tear from those who listen, this is worth the trouble.
As long as there are men the bulwark is safe.
I gave them hope, and so turned away their eyes from death
Necessity is stronger far than art.
Making it a valid law to learn by suffering.
And though all streams flow from a single course to cleanse the blood from polluted hand, they hasten on their course in vain.
