O Varium Fortune (2016)
(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;
