1. When you visit those who find your company burdensome,

    then shun them, and wisely preserve your dignity.

  2. Do not pin your hopes on affection—for indeed,

    when sickness causes agony, it baffles the physician.

  3. It is shameful for one once bitten at the lair

    if, deluded, he returns to the lair a second time.

Sol 5.6
