O Fortune,
like the moon you are changeable,
ever waxing and waning;
hateful life first oppresses
and then soothes as fancy takes it;
poverty and power it melts them like ice.
Fate - monstrous and empty,
you whirling wheel, you are malevolent,
well-being is vain and always fades to nothing,
shadowed and veiled you plague me too;now through the
game I bring my bare back to your villainy.
Fate is against me in health
and virtue, driven on and weighted down,
always enslaved.So at this hour
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate strikes down the string man,
everyone weep with me!
Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."
