He only half dies who leaves an image of himself in his sons.
Muore per metà chi lascia un' immagine di se stesso nei figli.

So Lloyd, song in The Capricious Lovers, air 2:— | When I look on my boys,
They renew all my joys,
Myself in my children I see;
While the comforts I find
In the kingdom my mind,
Pronounce that my kingdom is free.
