Surge et adversa impetu
perfringe solito. Nunc tuum nulli imparem
animum malo resume, nunc magna tibi
virtute agendum est-
Up! And with thy
wonted force break through adversity. Now
get back thy courage which was ne'er unequal
to any hardship; now must thou greatly'
play the man.
– LUCIUS ANNAEUS SENECA
HERCULES FURENS, 1273-78
