which, being extinguished, our body shall be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft air.
4
And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall have our works in remembrance; and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist that is driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat thereof.
5

6
"Come on, therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are present; and let us speedily use the creation as in youth.
7
Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments; and let no flower of the spring pass by us.
