16. Be thou not then afraid when oneenriched thou dost see,Nor when the glory of his houseadvanced is on high:
17. For he shall carry nothing hencewhen death his days doth end;Nor shall his glory after himinto the grave descend.
18. Although he his own soul did blesswhilst he on earth did live;(And when thou to thyself dost well,men will thee praises give;)
19. He to his fathers' race shall go,they never shall see light.
20. Man honour'd wanting knowledge islike beasts that perish quite.
