Who apart from the gods is without pain for his whole lifetime's length?

Wisdom comes through suffering.
Trouble, with its memories of pain,
Drips in our hearts as we try to sleep,
So men against their will
Learn to practice moderation.
Favours come to us from gods.

Ask the gods nothing excessive.

When a man's willing and eager, the gods join in.

Of all the gods only death does not desire gifts.

We must pronounce him fortunate who has ended his life in fair prosperity.
