### [77.241](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.adab.basatin-al-uns.77.241)

اعتدال طبعی عدول نموده است، و سیاهی لشکر سودا خیل دماغ تو را بهیغما برده است، مقاصد دیوانگان و مطالب از عقل بیگانگان را که از حد قدرت و امکان پای بیرون نهاده باشند، و چون اکسیر اعظم در زوایا و امتناع مختفی شده با تمام تلقی و تکفل نمودن و طوق قبول پرداخت آن زیور جید مساعی خویش کردن جز زردرویی و شرمساری ثمره ندهد، و طعن و ملامت ارباب کیاست و اصحاب فطنت را به کمند سوی خود کشیدن بود.

> of natural equilibrium, and the black army of melancholia has plundered the host of your brain.  
> Receiving and undertaking the aims of madmen and the desires of those alien to reason—which have stepped beyond the bounds of power and possibility,  
> and like the supreme elixir have hidden in corners and impossibility—with completion, and making the collar of agreeing  
> to discharge it the ornament of the neck of one’s endeavors, bears no fruit other than pallor and shame, and is pulling the taunt and  
> reproach of the masters of sagacity and the possessors of acumen toward oneself with a lasso.’
