CHORUS. The key to human happiness Is to nurture wisdom in your heart, For man to attend to man’s business And let the gods play their part: Above all, to stand in awe Of the eternal, unalterable law. The proud man may pretend In his arrogance to despise Everything but himself. In the end The gods will bring him to grief. Today it has happened here. With our own eyes We have seen an old man, through suffering, become wise.
