27
For what was not destroyed by fire was melted when simply warmed by a fleeting ray of the sun,
28
to make it known that one must rise before the sun to give you thanks, and must pray to you at the dawning of the light;
29
for the hope of an ungrateful person will melt like wintry frost, and flow away like waste water.
