Tranquil ease is happiness; A superfluity is injurious -- So it is with all earthly things Especially it is so Where the superfluity Is of riches and wealth. All those who strive for them Bitterly distress their bodies And deny themselves what is pleasant And restrict themselves To a bare sustenance In order to sustain their life. So they have life-long stress, And long-continued pressure, And unceasing apprehension And even endless nightmares Until their death arrives, alas, At it an unearthly hour there.
