O Varium Fortune(original) |
| O varium fortune lubricum |
| Dans dubium tribunal iudicum, |
| Non modicum paras huic premium, |
| Quem colere tua vult gratia. |
| Et petere rote sublimia, |
| Dans dubia tamen, prepostere |
| De stercore pauperem erigens, |
| de rhetore consulem eligens. |
| Edificat Fortuna diruit; |
| Nunc abdicat quos prius coluit; |
| (translation) |
| O slippery fortune |
| Giving doubt to the court of judges, |
| You don't have to pay a premium for this. |
| Whom thy grace wills to worship. |
| And ask for the highest things by rote, |
| Giving doubts, however, preposterous |
| raising the poor from the dung |
| choosing the consul of the orator. |
| Fortune builds up; |
| Now he abdicates those whom he formerly worshiped; |
