5
For our time is a very shadow that passeth away, and after our end there is no returning; for it is sealed fast, 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 creation 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.
