For The Marriage Bed Ordained By Fate

Death Is Easier Than A Wretched Life; And Better Never To Have Born Than To Live And Fare Badly.

Everyone Is Ready To Speak Ill Of A Stranger.

Old Men Are Always Young Enough To Learn With Profit.

Rumours Voiced By Women Come To Nothing.

For This Our Task Hath Fate Spun Without Fail To Last For Ever Sure, That We On Man Weighed Down With Deeds Of Hate Should Follow Till The Earth His Life Immure. Nor When He Dies Can He Boast Of Being Truly Free.
