Happy the man


Happy the man,

and happy he alone,

he who can call today his own:

he who, secure within, can say,

Tomorrow do thy worst,

for I have lived today.
Be fair or foul,

or rain or shinethe joys I have possessed,

in spite of fate, are mine.

Not Heaven itself, upon the past has power,

but what has been, has been,

and I have had my hour.


Horace
