Seneca,
Lucius Annaeus Seneca ( 4BC -- 65AD)

(known as Seneca the Younger HD (the Younger) DT1a c.)

Roman philosopher, statesman and writer, born in Córdoba, Spain, the son of Seneca (the Elder). Banished to Corsica (41--9) by Claudius, on a charge of adultery, he was recalled by Agrippina, who entrusted him with the education of her son, Nero. Made consul by Nero in 57, his high moral aims gradually incurred the emperor's displeasure, and he withdrew from public life. Drawn into conspiracy, he was condemned, and committed suicide in Rome. The publication of his Tenne Tragedies in 1581 was important in the evolution of Elizabethan drama, which took from them the five-act division, as well as the horrors and the rhetoric.

bida ta manera un komedia; no ta importá e durashon, sino e kalidat di e presentashon

bo mester kambia bo mentalidat, no e shelu

bo ta stòp di teme, si bo stòp di spera

di un gran hòmber bo por siña semper algu maske e ta ketu

dirigí no ta nifiká dominá, sino kumpli ku un deber

hopi persona lo por a yega na sabiduria si nan no a imaginá nan mes ku nan a yega kaba

lo ta un konsuelo pa nos debilidat i pa nos obranan si tur kos lo pasa mes poko poko ku nan a ser formá; nan kresementu ta sin embargo poko poko, pero e deterioro ta lihé

loke bo ta konsiderá e kumbre, no ta mas ku un promé paso

mi ta mira tur tera manera nan ta pertenesé na mi i esnan di mi manera nan ta di tur hende

nada ta di nos, ku eksepshon di tempu

niun hende no por gana sin ku e otro ta pèrdè

niun persona ta asina bieu ku e no por spera di biba sikiera un dia mas
