The sad fate of a gambler

"Without any fault of hers I have driven my devoted wife away because of a die exceeding by one [an unsuccessful bet]. My mother-in-law hates me; my wife pushes me away. In his defeat the gambler finds none to pity him. No one has use for a gambler, like an aged horse put up for sale."
- The Gambler's Hymn in The Rig Veda, a collection of Hindu religious hymns more than 3,000 years old

Found in The Economist's special report on gambling, Shuffle up and deal.
