BOOK IV

"Contemnere, miser! Vitanda est improba Siren

desidia, aut quidquid vita meliore parasti

ponendum aequo animo."


"You will earn contempt, poor -wretch.

You must shun the wicked Siren, Sloth,

or be content to drop whatever honour

you have gained in nobler hours."


Horace, Satires II, in, 14-16
