    [Lat., Homo qui erranti comiter monstrat viam,
    Quasi lumen de suo lumine accendit, facit:
    Nihilominus ipsi luceat, cum illi accenderit.]

The foolish ofttimes teach the wise:
I strain too much this string of life, belike,
Meaning to make such music as shall save.

My strength is waned now that my need is most;
Would that I had such help as man must have,
For I shall die, whose life was all men's hope.
