And woe succeeds woe.
Even a fool learns something once it hits him.
We men are wretched things.
Not two strong men the enormous weight could raise,- Such men as live in these degenerate days.
And for yourself, may the gods grant you your heart's desire, a husband and a home, and the blessing of a harmonious life. For nothing is greater or finer than this, when a man and woman live together with one hear and mind, bringing joy to their friends and grief to their foes.
To-morrow we embark upon the boundless sea.
