You must avoid sloth, that wicked siren.
The accumulation of wealth is followed by an increase of care, and by an appetite for more.
Content with his past life, let him take leave of life like a satiated guest.
One night awaits all, and death's path must be trodden once and for all.
God can change the lowest to the highest, abase the proud, and raise the humble.
Fortune makes a fool of those she favors too much.
