I loathe a friend whose gratitude grows old, a friend who takes his friend's prosperity but will not voyage with him in his grief
If there are none [gods], All our toil is without meaning.
Since luck's a nine days' wonder, wait their end.
My tongue swore, but my mind was still unpledged.
Surely again, to heal men's wounds by music's spell.
In every work a reward added makes the pleasure twice as great.
