Sol 5.6

  1. The wont of the days I do not disavow:

    a joy they couple for me with grief.

  2. If they undo what they mend,

    so does Time: when it gives milk, it kicks.

  3. When it takes the clear path, it turns away;

    when it follows the straight course, it veers aside.

  4. It may fatten you—but do not rejoice in that,

    for it is like a slaughterer who fattens, then slaughters.

  5. Yet caution against it, whenever

    Time runs wild through my valley, reins it in.
