Leuconoe, close the book of fate, For troubles are in store, . . . . Live today, tomorrow is not.
When things are steep, remember to stay level-headed.
The whole race of scribblers flies from the town and yearns for country life.
Flames too soon acquire strength if disregarded.
What we hear strikes the mind with less force than what we see.
Enjoy in happiness the pleasures which each hour brings with it.
