Art is true friend of chance, and chance of art.
[88] Even as saith also Agathon:
Worsted by suffering cowards dote on death.
[89] I have followed Grotius in transposing τύχῃ and τέχνῃ, and translate:
Thus some things we can do by art, while some
Are thrust on us as fate and fortune will.
[90] Fab. 172.
