Book 1: The Sorrows of Boethius, no. 16, Part I di 82 · 3 min per leggere: part
In I, the speaker identifies the narrator’s longing for his former prosperity as the cause of his distress and begins a gentle verbal remedy. She argues that Fortune always changes, so anyone who accepts her benefits must also accept her departures rather than demand control over her.
