It makes no difference whether you see these things for a hundred years or just three years.
It is all one to see these things for a hundred of years together or but for three years.
Will this complaining, this grumbling, this whining and pretending never end? What is troubling you? Is something new happening to you? What are you so surprised by? The cause, or the thing itself?

Will this querulousness, this murmuring, this complaining and dissembling never be at an end? What then is it, that troubleth thee? Doth any new thing happen unto thee? What doest thou so wonder at? At the cause, or the matter? Behold either by itself, is either of that weight and moment indeed? And besides these, there is not anything. But thy duty towards the Gods also, it is time thou shouldst acquit thyself of it with more goodness and simplicity.
