    Like the dew on the mountain,
    Like the foam on the river,
    Like the bubble on the fountain,
    Thou are gone, and for ever!

Cum repetas, inimicum amicum beneficio invenis tuo.
Si mage exigere cupias, duarum rerum exoritur optio;
Vel illud, quod credideris perdas, vel illum amicum, amiseris.]
