This text consists of two couplets, each of which consists of two lines in iambic meter. The first couplet is anonymous; it is known to us from a medieval text that dates from long before the time of [[Jacob Handl]], the composer of this musical setting. The second couplet, clearly the source and model for the first one quoted, is much older. In fact, it dates back to the Golden Age of Roman literature, being the work of the poet Ovid (43 BC-AD 17), who is famous for such popular works as "Metamorphoses" and "The Art of Love." The lines here quoted by [[Jacob Handl]] are from Ovid's work called "Tristia" ("Sadness"), Book I, 9, 5-6. In it, Ovid laments his exile from Rome by the Emperor Augustus, for reasons that are not clearly known to us. This sad event is what elicits Ovid's proverb-like statement. Whether the anonymous medieval author thought he was improving on Ovid's diction, and what purpose Jacob Handl may have had for setting the two synonymous couplets together, are subjects for conjecture.
