Such is this World with all her Pomp and Glory, Such are the men whom worldly eyes admire: Cut down by Time, and now become a Story, That we might after better things aspire.
Go boast thy self of what thy heart enjoys, Vain Man! triumph in all thy worldly Bliss: Thy best enjoyments are but Trash and Toys: Delight thy self in that which worthless is.
Go boast thy self of what thy heart enjoyes, Vain Man! triumph in all thy worldly Bliss: Thy best enjoyments are but Trash and Toyes: Delight thy self in that which worthless is.
Omnia praetereunt praeter amare Deum.
FINIS.
