<poem>
O how quickly the sculpture of life
Shatters into tiny little fragments!
The splendor of the king on his throne
Is completely swept away by sea-waves.
Ye who have come hither stationed here,
By Heaven's grace ye have been accommodated.
Just like us, ye act in order to be judged;
Therefore let us be generous to the pauper, and give to our neighbor.
</poem>
