At last is Hector stretchd upon the plain,Who feard no vengean

At last is Hector stretchd upon the plain,
Who feard no vengeance for Patroclus slain:
Then, Prince! You should have feard, what now you feel;
Achilles absent was Achilles still:
Yet a short space the great avenger stayed,
Then low in dust thy strength and glory laid. – Homer

Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.

No more; where ignorance is bliss,
Tis folly to be wise. – Thomas Gray
