And thither will I go,
To the rosy vale, where the nightingale
Sings his song of woe.”

“He will through life be master of himself and a happy man who from day to day can have said, "I have lived: tomorrow the Father may fill the sky with black clouds or with cloudless sunshine."”
Ille potens sui laetusque deget, cui licet in diem dixisse "vixi: cras vel atra nube polum pater occupato vel sole puro."

Happy the man, and happy he alone,

He who, secure within, can say,
To-morrow do thy worst, for I have lived to-day.

Who circles skywards from his home each day:
World's early riser, with bubbling golden song,
Towards the firmament, guardian of April's gate.”
