Only When A Man's Life

Since Long I've Held Silence A Remedy For Harm.

Simple Is The Speech Of Truth.

For The Lips Of Zeus Do Not Know How To Lie, But Bring To Fulfilment Every Word.

Alas For The Affairs Of Men! When They Are Fortunate You Might Compare Them To A Shadow; And If They Are Unfortunate, A Wet Sponge With One Dash Wipes The Picture Away.

But I Must Bear My Destiny As Best I Can, Knowing Well That There Is No Resisting The Strength Of Necessity.
