All these souls, after they have passed away a thousand years, are summoned by the divine ones in great array, to the lethean river. . . . In this way they become forgetful of the former earthlife, and re-visit the vaulted realms of the world, willing to return again into living bodies.

Age steals away all things, even the mind.

Each man is led by his own liking.

Then endure for a while, and live for a happier day!

From a single crime know the nation.

How can there be such anger in the minds of the gods?

The medicine increases the disease.
