Old Men Are Always Young Enough To

On Him Who Wields Power Gently, The God Looks Favorably From Afar.

And One Who Is Just Of His Own Free Will Shall Not Lack For Happiness; And He Will Never Come To Utter Ruin.

But From The Good Health Of The Mind Comes That Which Is Dear To All And The Object Of Prayer-happiness.

For By The Will Of The Gods Fate Hath Held Sway Since Ancient Days.

The Great And Amorous Sky Curved Over The Earth, And Lay Upon Her As A Pure Lover. The Rain, The Humid Flux Descending From Heaven For Both Man And Animal, For Both Thick And Strong, Germinated The Wheat, Swelled The Furrows With Fecund Mud And Brought Forth The Buds In The Orchards. And It Is I Who Empowered These Moist Espousals, I The Great Aphrodite.
