Religion
Book IX, 182
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. III, 1917)
Religion
And thou, Lady Fortune, how has evil fortune befallen thee? How hast thou, who givest us good fortune, become unfortunate? Learn thou, too, to support thy own changes of tide, learn to suffer the unhappy falls which thou sendest to others.
