For The Gods, Instead Of What Is

For He, Who Gave This Vast Machine To Roll, Breathed Life In Then, In Us A Reasoning Soul; That Kindred Feelings Might Our State Improve, And Mutual Wants Conduct To Mutual Love.

The Sicilian Tyrants Never Devised A Greater Punishment Than Envy.

One Man Meets An Infamous Punishment For That Crime Which Confers A Diadem On Others.

Refrain From Doing Ill; For One All Powerful Reason, Lest Our Children Should Copy Our Misdeeds; We Are All Too Prone To Imitate Whatever Is Base And Depraved.

No One Becomes Depraved All At Once.
