O friend unseen, unborn, unknown, Student of our sweet English tongue, I never indulge in poetics - Unless I am down with rheumatics.
Quintus Ennius

Who kindly sets a wand'rer on his way
Does e'en as he lit another's lamp by his:
No less shines his, when he his friend's hath lit.

No faith is kept, when kingship is concerned.

As a strong racehorse, which often in the last lap
Conquered Olympia; now in old age, fulfilled, finds rest.

One man, by delaying, restored the state to us.
He valued safety more than the mob's applause;
Hence now his glory more resplendent grows.
Quintus Ennius

And the earth, who herself bestowed the body, takes it back and wastes not a whit.
Quintus Ennius
