O Fortuna levis! [18] lyrics

I.

O Fortuna levis! cui vis das munera que vis,

Et cui vis que vis auferet hora brevis.

II.

Passibus ambiguis Fortuna volubilis errat

Et manet in nullo certa tenaxque loco;

Sed modo leta manet, modo vultus sumit acerbos,

Et tantum constans in levitate manet.

Ovid. Trist. 5, 8, 15-18

III.

Dat Fortuna bonum, sed non durabile donum;

Attollit pronum, faciens de rege colonum.

IV.

Quos vult Sors ditat, quos non vult, sub pede tritat.

V.

Qui petit alta nimis, retro lapsus ponitur imis.
