Vivite felices, quibus est fortuna peracta Jam sua: nos alia ex aliis in fata vocamur.
virgil— Live and be blest! 'tis sweet to feel
Fate's book is closed and under seal.
For us, alas! that volume stern
Has many another page to turn.
— Virgil, Aeneid, III, 493 (trans. John Conington).
Vivite felices, quibus est fortuna peracta Jam sua: nos alia ex aliis in fata vocamur.
— Cf. Dryden's translation:
Your fortune, happy pair, already made,
Leaves you no farther wish. My diff'rent state,
Avoiding one, incurs another fate.
