No works of buildings in Egypt could avail,
his resting-place is all his wealth ...[542]
Let me return to know what remaineth of him!
Not the least moment could be added to his life,
(when he went to) the realm of eternity.
Those who have magazines full of bread to spend,
even they shall encounter the hour of a last end.
The moment of that day will diminish the valor of the rich ...[543]
Mind thee of the day, when thou too shalt start for the land,
to which one goeth to return not thence.
