//You will live more correctly, Licinius, neither by always//
 * Rectius vives, Licini, neque altum**

//pressing on the sea, nor - while cautious you tremble//
 * semper urgendo, neque – dum procellas**

//at storms - by following very closely//
 * cautus horrescis – nimium premendo**

//the uneven shore.//
 * litus iniquum.**

//Whoever loves the golden mean,//
 * auream quisquis mediocritatem**

//he, safe, lacks the dirt of a shabby house,//
 * diligit, tutus caret obsoleti**

//sober, lacks a// - invidenda - gerundive
 * sordibus tecti, caret invidenda**

//house to be envied.//
 * sobrius aula.**

//More often the huge pine is agitated by the winds//
 * saepius ventis agitatur ingens**

//and the lofty towers fall down with a heavier fall//
 * pinus et celsae graviore casu**

//and the flashes of lighting strike//
 * decidunt turres feriuntque summos**

//the highest mountain.//
 * fulgura montis.**

//The well prepared chest, in dangerous circumstances, hopes// - abl of time when
 * sperat infestis, metuit secundis**

//for another fate, in favorable circumstances fears (another fate).//
 * alteram sortem bene praeparatum**

//Jupiter brings back harsh winters,//
 * pectus. informis hiemes reducit**

//the same Jupiter//
 * Iuppiter, idem**

//removes. Not, if it is badly now, and at one time// - add est after nunc
 * submovit. non, si male nunc, et olim**

//it not be thus also: sometimes Apollo// - cithara - abl.
 * sic erit: quondam cithara tacentem**

//awakens the silent Muse with the lyre,//
 * suscitat Musam, neque semper arcum**

//and he does not always extend his bow.//
 * tendit Apollo**.

//In difficult circumstances appear strong//
 * rebus angustis animosus atque**

//and spirited: wisely likewise//
 * fortis appare: sapienter idem**

//you will draw together the swollen sails//
 * contrahes vento nimium secundo**

//with a too favorable wind.//
 * turgida vela.**
