Virgil

« All quotes from this author
 

Sin aliquem infandum casum, Fortuna, minaris,
Nunc, o, nunc liceat crudelem abrumpere vitam,
Dum curae ambiguae, dum spes incerta futuri.
--
But ah! if Fortune be my foe, And meditate some crushing blow, Now, now the thread in mercy break, While hope sees dim and cares mistake.
--
Lines 578-580 (translated by John Conington)
