Mine haven's found; Fortune and Hope, adieu.
Mock others now, for I have done with you.
In Fortunam
Inveni portum spes et fortuna valete
Nil mini vobiscum ludite nunc alios.
Inveni portum spes et fortuna valete
Nil mini vobiscum ludite nunc alios.

Inveni portum, Spes et Fortuna valete,
Sat me lusistis, ludite nunc alios.
Fortune and Hope, farewell! I've reached the port;
Enough you've tricked me, now with others sport.
