|  Glory to Man in the highest! For Man is the master of things. | | Body and spirit are twins: God only knows which is which. | | While three men hold together, the kingdoms are less by three. | | Hope thou not much, and fear thou not at all. | | From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives for ever; That dead men rise up never; That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea. | | To say of shame - what is it? Of virtue - we can miss it; Of sin-we can kiss it, And it's no longer sin. | | Time turns the old days to derision, Our loves into corpses or wives; And marriage and death and division Make barren our lives. |
