In labouring to be brief, I become obscure.
What does drunkenness accomplish? It discloses secrets, it ratifies hopes, and urges even the unarmed to battle.
The envious man grows lean at the success of his neighbor.
Naked I seek the camp of those who desire nothing.
I have raised for myself a monument more durable than brass.
No verse can give pleasure for long, nor last, that is written by drinkers of water.
