Authors:
  • Rejoice, and men will seek you;
    Grieve, and they turn and go,
    They want full measure of all your pleasure,
    But they do not need your woe.
    Be glad, and your friends are many;
    Be sad, and you lose them all,--
    There are none to decline your nectar'd wine,
    But alone you must drink life's gall.
