Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121–180) |
| | | I AM 1 at one with everything, O Universe, | |
| which is well-fitting in thee. | |
| Nothing to me is early or late which is timely with thee. | |
| All is fruit to me that thy seasons bring. | |
| O Nature, from thee are all things, | 5 |
| in thee are all things, | |
| to thee all things return. | |
| The poet saith, Dear city of Cecrops; | |
| shall not I say, Dear City of God. | |
