The love of country is more powerful than reason itself.
Let ancient times delight other folk, I rejoice that I was not born till now.
If you give up your quiet life, the bow of Cupid will lose its power.
You will go most safely in the middle.
It warms the blood, adds luster to the eyes, and wine and love have ever been allies.
Man looks aloft, and with erected eyes Beholds his hereditary skies.
