Song Brings Of Itself A Cheerfulness That

This Is Courage In A Man: To Bear Unflinchingly What Heaven Sends.

What Greater Pain Could Mortals Have Than This: To See Their Children Dead Before Their Eyes?

Man's Best Possession Is A Sympathetic Wife.

Mankind . . . Possesses Two Supreme Blessings. First Of These Is The Goddess Demeter, Or Earth Whichever Name You Choose To Call Her By. It Was She Who Gave To Man His Nourishment Of Grain. But After Her There Came The Son Of Semele, Who Matched Her Present By Inventing Liquid Wine As His Gift To Man. For Filled With That Good Gift, Suffering Mankind Forgets Its Grief; From It Comes Sleep; With It Oblivion Of The Troubles Of The Day. There Is No Other Medicine For Misery.

Do Not Consider Painful What Is Good For You.
