FOURTH OF DAILY HYMNS, TO BE CHANTED THE FIFTH DAY

Back

Happy is he who takes care of his immortal soul, always,

so that it becomes an excellent one, not caring to excess

of his mortal part, not sparing it if needed.

Happy is he who doesn’t make himself slave to the mortals

that strike him and act senseless; since he has an imperturbable

soul, he’s above their wickedness.

Happy is he who doesn’t upset for the events

that come from the Gods, even if they’re the hardest, but bears them without pain

thinking that the good is in his immortal part.

George Gemistos Plethon

translated by Manuela Simeoni
