Additional quotes by Honorat de Bueil, seigneur de Racan

Les lois de la mort sont fatales
Aussi bien aux maisons royales Qu'aux taudis converts de roseaux; Tous nos jours sont sujets aux Parques; Ceux des bergers et des monarques
Sont coupds des memes ciseaux.

Tircis, it's time to think of retiring:
Over half our journey is done.
Old age insensibly leads us toward death. ...
It's time to enjoy the delights of the port.

As we rise higher, so less safe our lot;
No lofty pine is 'gainst the tempest proof,
And sooner the wind's rage o'erwhelms the roof
Of the king's palace, than the shepherd's cot.
