Beauty endures only for as long as it can be seen; goodness, beautiful today, will remain so tomorrow.
Death is an evil; the gods have so judged; had it been good, they would die.
The Moon and Pleiades have set, / Midnight is nigh, / The time is passing, passing, yet / Alone I lie.
In gold sandals / dawn like a thief / fell upon me.
Experience shows us Wealth unchaperoned by Virtue is never an innocuous neighbor.
Although only breath, words which I command are immortal.
