It is in adversity that the good show their friendship most clearly; prosperity always finds friends.
Surely again, to heal men's wounds by music's spell.
A wretched child Is he who does not return his parents' care.
A rare spoil for a man Is the winning of a good wife; very Plentiful are the worthless women.
But learn that to die is a debt we must all pay.
Happy is it to place a daughter; yet it pains a father's heart when he delivers to another's house a child, the object of his tender care.
