Oh soul....

****************************************************************

Oh soul, torn by unbearable concerns,

Stand up, defend yourself from your enemies,

Outsmart them moving cautiously

through their ambushes.

But do not triumph when you win,

nor lay down crying when defeated,

Nor get overjoyed in your joys,

or overwhelmed in your sorrows

just learn what rhythm governs human affairs.

ΘΥΜΕ, ΘΥΜ', ΑΜΗΧΑΝΟΙΣΙ ΚΗΔΕΣΙΝ ΚΥΚΩΜΕΝΕ ΑΝΑΔΥ,

ΔΥΣΜΕΝΩΝ Δ' ΑΛΕΞΕΥ ΠΡΟΣΒΑΛΩΝ ΕΝΑΝΤΙΟΝ ΣΤΕΡΝΟΝ,

ΕΝ ΔΟΚΟΙΣΙΝ ΕΧΘΡΩΝ ΠΛΗΣΙΟΝ ΚΑΤΑΣΤΑΘΕΙΣ ΑΣΦΑΛΕΩΣ.

ΚΑΙ ΜΗΤΕ ΝΙΚΩΝ ΑΜΦΑΔΗΝ ΑΓΑΛΛΕΟ,

ΜΗΤΕ ΝΙΚΗΘΕΙΣ ΕΝ ΟΙΚΩ ΚΑΤΑΠΕΣΩΝ ΟΔΥΡΕΟ,

ΑΛΛΑ ΧΑΡΤΟΙΣΙΝ ΤΕ ΧΑΙΡΕ ΚΑΙ ΚΑΚΟΙΣΙΝ ΑΣΧΑΛΑ ΜΗ ΛΙΗΝ.

ΓΙΓΝΩΣΚΕ Δ' ΟΙΟΣ ΡΥΣΜΟΣ ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΥΣ ΕΧΕΙ.
