To win true freedom you must be a slave to philosophy.
What win I, if I gain the thing I seek?
A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy.
Who buys a minute’s worth to wail a week?
Or sells eternity to get a toy?
For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy?
Or what fond beggar, but to tough the crown,
Would with the scepter straight be stricken down?
