If my body is enslaved, still my mind is free.
There are times when even justice brings harm with it.
For even bold natures flee, whenever they see Hades close to life.
If to some my tale seems foolishness I am content that such could count me fool.
It is the merit of a general to impart good news, and to conceal the truth.
But the power of destiny is something awesome; neither wealth, nor Ares, nor a tower, nor dark-hulled ships might escape it.
