This requires a bit of a mental leap.
From
"Going up or coming down, it's hard either way"
and
"Well, actually it's way easier coming down -- only it'll hurt more"
to
*O fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis...
*Quoted from 'Fortuna, Imperatrix Mundi' (Fortune, Empress of the World) from the collection of poems known as 'Carmina Burana'. It has famously been set to choral music by Carl Orff. Here is a cover of the score showing the Wheel of Fortune.
