SUFFER WELL
Este fue el tercer single del álbum Playing the Angels (2005). La letra fue escrita por Dave Gahan y se dice que el video es como una representación de la época en que él estaba sumergido en las drogas y que casi lo lleva hasta el suicidio.

Explanation:
"Suffer well" no es una expresión muy usada IMO. Es el título de una canción de Depeche Mode:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffer_Well
Más común es "suffer gladly", que se usa mucho en la expresión "not to suffer idiots gladly" con el sentido de no soportar.

En base a lo que dice la canción y la similitud con la expresión más usada yo lo traduciría como propongo.
