| By the cynic the sad the fallen | L |
| Who had no strength for the strife | M |

| They make up the sum of life | M |
| But the virtue that conquers passion | L |
| And the sorrow that hides in a smile | C |
| It is these that are worth the homage on earth | F |
| For we find them but once in a while | C |
