Body
Soul
Mind
To the body belong sensations
To the soul
Appetites
And to the mind?
Reason

Reason

To experience sensations
Even grazing beasts do that
To let your
Desires control you
Even wild animals do that
And rutting humans
And tyrants
From Phalaris to Nero
To make your mind
Your guide to what seems best
Is common unto all
Even people who deny the gods do that
Even people who betray their country
They all do that
Then do their impure deeds
When they have shut the doors
If that's the case
What quality
Is not in common then with yours?
What is unique to the good man?
To be pleased and content with what happens
Whatever's sent by fate
And not defile
The divinity
Within him
With a mess of false beliefs
Instead preserve it faithfully
Following obediently
As a god
Uttering no words
Contrary to truth
And doing nothing
Contrary to justice
Uttering no words
Contrary to truth
And doing nothing
Contrary to justice

Reason
And if all others disbelieve
This life lived with simplicity
Humility
And cheerfully
He'll not resent them for it
Nor be diverted from his path
That leads to the end of his life
To which a man ought to come pure and peaceful
Ready to depart
In effortless accord
With what must be
With what must be
With what must be
Uttering no words
Contrary to truth
And doing nothing
Contrary to justice
Uttering no words
Contrary to truth
And doing nothing
Contrary to justice
