What a life, dude.
Like him whom fable fledged with waxen wings,
In sorrow drowned - but not in sorrow lost.
How wretched is the man who never mourned!
I dive for precious pearl in sorrow's stream:
Not so the thoughtless man that only grieves:
Takes all the torment and rejects the gain,
(Inestimable gain!) and gives heaven leave
To make him but more wretched, not more wise
