Ploutos , no wonder mortals worship you: You are so tolerant of their sins !
Surfeit begets insolence, when prosperity comes to a bad man.
When we are dead; rugs are no richer than a quick-thorn bed.
Adopt the character of the twisting octopus, which takes on the appearance of the nearby rock . Now follow in this direction, now turn a different hue.
Bright youth passes swiftly as a thought.
Restrain thy mind, and let mildness ever attend thy tongue.
