Glückselig zu seyn, thut Weisheit noth
vor Allem zuerst; und des Göttlichen Scheu

soll keiner verschmähn: denn gewaltige Wort'
hochmüthiges Sinns, mit gewaltigem Schlag
schwer büfsend zuletzt,
sie lehren im Alter die Weisheit.

La prudencia es la primera condición para la felicidad; y es menester, en todo lo que a los dioses se refiere, no cometer impiedad; pues las insolentes bravatas que castigan a los soberbios con atroces desgracias, les enseñan a ser prudentes en la vejez.

At sane quidem, si quae urgent mala, quo breviora, eo sunt leviora.
Sapere longe prima felicitatis pars est, omnibusque pietatis erga deos officiis fungi decet; at superbi, quum magnis plagis adflicti, magnorum dictorum poenas luerunt, sapere tandem docentur.

Wise conduct hath command of happiness
Before all else, and piety to Heaven
Must be preserved. High boastings of the proud
1350
Bring sorrow to the height to punish pride:—
A lesson men shall learn when they are old.

Am ersprießlichsten ist, um glücklich zu sein,
1305
Der besonnene Sinn: nie frevle darum
An der Götter Gesez! Der Vermessene büßt
Das vermessene Wort mit schwerem Gericht;
Dann lernt er zulezt
Noch weise zu werden im Alter.

La prudencia es una primera fuente de ventura; pero es preciso además no ser irreligio- sos, y reyerenciar á la Divinidad. Los discursos presuntuosos de los hombres altivos, les originan terribles infortunios, que enseñan, aunque tarde, á apreciar la Sabiduría.

To happiness the best, the surest guide
Is wisdom: but irreverence to the gods
Becomes not mortal man; the mighty vaunts

Of pride, with mighty punishments repaid,
Teach his old age thus humbled to be wise.
