Odes II, iii
Remember, when blinde Fortune kints her brow,
Thy minde be not dejected over-lowe;
Nor let thy thoughts too insolently swell,
Though all thy hopes doe prosper ne'r so well.
For, drink thy tears, with sorrow still opprest,
Or taste pure vine, secure and ever blest,
In those remote and pleasant shady fields
Where stately Pine and Poplar shadow yeelds,
Or circling streames that warble, passing by;
All will not help, sweet friend: For, thou must die.
The house, thou hast, thou once must leave behind thee,
And those sweet babes thou often kissest kindly:
And when th'hast gotten all the wealth thou can,
Alas! what poor advantage doth it bring,
To boaste thy selfe descended of a King!
When those, that have no house to hide their heads,
Finde in their grave as warm and easie beds.
– Horace (65-8 BC), translation attributed to Ben Jonson (1621)
