For know that no one is free, except Zeus.
It is an ill thing to be the first to bring news of ill.
Chorus: Zeus, who guided men to think who laid it down that wisdom comes alone through suffering. Still there drips in sleep against the heart grief of memory; against our pleasure we are temperate.
There is a limit to the best of health, disease is always a near neighbor.
The man whose authority is recent is always stern.
Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering.
