A second wifeis hateful to the children of the first;a viper is not more hateful.

A sweet thing, for whatever time,to revisit in dreams the dear dad we have lost.

Light be the earth upon you, lightly rest.

Dishonor will not trouble me, once I am dead.

You were a stranger to sorrow: therefore Fate has cursed you.

I have found power in the mysteries of thought,exaltation in the changing of the Muses;I have been versed in the reasonings of men;but Fate is stronger than anything I have known.

Never say that marriage has more of joy than pain.
