If you\u2019ve regrets, and moderate emotions touch your heart,<\/p>\n
then halt your feet, while you can, at the first threshold.<\/p>\n
Crush the evil germs of sudden illness while they\u2019re young,<\/p>\n
and prevent your horse\u2019s gallop at the start.<\/p>\n
For time gives strength, time ripens tender grapes,<\/p>\n
and creates healthy crops from what were shoots.<\/p>\n
The tree that spreads wide shadows for passers-by,<\/p>\n
was only a slip at first that had been planted:<\/p>\n
then a hand could pluck it from the topsoil:<\/p>\n
now by its growth it stands, in all its immense power.<\/p>\n
Let your swift mind encompass what it is that you love,<\/p>\n
and withdraw your neck from the collar that hurts you.<\/p>\n
Halt its beginnings: it\u2019s too late for the doctor to be called,<\/p>\n
when the illness has grown stronger through delay.<\/p>\n
But hurry, don\u2019t put it off to a later time:<\/p>\n
who\u2019s not ready today, will be less so tomorrow:<\/p>\n
all love deceives, and gains nourishment by waiting:<\/p>\n
every next day is the best for freedom.<\/p>\n
You see few rivers flow from mighty fountains:<\/p>\n
by many inflowing waters they\u2019re multiplied.<\/p>\n
Myrrha , if you\u2019d realised sooner what sins you\u2019d begun,<\/p>\n
you\u2019d not have hidden your face with tree-bark.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve seen a wound that could at first be healed<\/p>\n
suffer harm through enduring long delays.<\/p>\n
But since it charms us to cull the fruits of Venus,<\/p>\n
we always say: \u2018the same could happen tomorrow.\u2019<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the secret flames creep into our heart,<\/p>\n
and the baleful tree drives its roots deeper.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
