Tristis es et felix. Sciat hoc Fortuna caveto:
ingratum dicet te, Lupe, si scierit. Lucky yet sad? My friend, should Fortune find You lacking gratitude, she’ll change her mind. Sei fortunato e pur triste. Che mai la Fortuna lo sappia, ché ingrato ti dirà, Lupo, se lo saprà. |
Martial, Epigram, Book 6, LXXIX
