He who is greedy is always in want.
Despise not sweet inviting love-making nor the merry dance.
Wine brings to light the hidden secrets of the soul, gives being to our hopes, bids the coward flight, drives dull care away, and teaches new means for the accomplishment of our wishes.
However rich or elevated, a name less something is always wanting to our imperfect fortune.
What may not be altered is made lighter by patience.
High descent and meritorious deeds, unless united to wealth, are as useless as seaweed.
