    To the sick man the physician when he enters seems to have three
    faces, those of a man, a devil, a god. When the physician first
    comes and announces the safety of the patient, then the sick man
    says: "Behold a God or a guardian angel!"
    [Lat., Intrantis medici facies tres esse videntur
    Aegrotanti; hominis, Daemonis, atque Dei.
    Cum primum accessit medicus dixitque salutem,
    En Deus aut custos angelus, aeger ait.]

When at the brink of ruin, not before;
After deliverance both alike requited,
Our God forgotten, and our soldiers slighted.

Lest we forget--lest we forget!

Agayne I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tyde and made my paynes his prey.
