If what we have we know not how to enjoy,
And pray for what we have not, we shall lose
By fate the last, by our own fault the first.
ἂν οἷς ἔχομεν τούτοισι μηδὲ χρώμεθα,
ἃ δ᾿ οὐκ ἔχομεν ζητῶμεν, ὧν μὲν διὰ τύχην,
ὧν δὲ δι᾿ ἑαυτοὺς ἐσόμεθ᾿ ἐστερημένοι.
ἃ δ᾿ οὐκ ἔχομεν ζητῶμεν, ὧν μὲν διὰ τύχην,
ὧν δὲ δι᾿ ἑαυτοὺς ἐσόμεθ᾿ ἐστερημένοι.
