<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. | |||
