IN HOC MVNDO SED NON EIVS
Of all that breathes and crawls across the earth, / our mother earth breeds nothing feebler than a man. / So long as the gods grant him power, spring in his knees, / he thinks he will never suffer affliction down the years. / But then, when the happy gods bring on the long hard times, / bear them he must, against his will, and steel his heart.
