Adrastus: The sight of poverty is wise for wealth;
The poor should gaze with envy on the rich,
To learn the love of goods; untroubled men
Are well advised to look at wretchedness.
The poet bringing songs into the world
Should work in joy. If this is not his mood,
He cannot -- being inwardly distressed --
Give pleasure outwardly. That stands to reason.
