Letters 88.16

Behold the fleeting sun, The stars that follow in his train, and thou Shalt never find the morrow play thee false, Or be misled by nights without a cloud.

It has, however, been sufficiently and fully ordained that I shall be safe from anything that may mislead me.

Seneca, Letters to Lucilius 88.16, translated by Richard Mott Gummere
