5
For our time is a very shadow that passeth away; and after our end there is no returning: for it is fast sealed, so that no man cometh again.
6
Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are present: and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth.
7
Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments: and let no flower of the spring pass by us:
8
Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered:
9
Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this.
