O you who hope to find relief through wishful thinking
O you who hope through wishful thinking for relief

abandon wishful thinking: it is itself an engrossing care,
Forsake wishful thinking, for it is an engrossing worry,
and a remedy that only aggravates the disease.
And some remedies aggravate the ailment.
