“Will you not leave
The fruit of your labors
To another?
What you acquired by toil
Is to be divided by lot.
Give!
Take!
Indulge yourself!
Because in Hades,
One cannot look for luxury.
All living beings become old
Like a garment.
The decree from of old is.
‘You must die!’
Like abundant leaves
On a spreading tree
That sheds some leaves,
But that puts forth others,
So are the generations
Of flesh and blood.
One dies.
Another is born.
Every work decays.
Every work ceases to exist.
The one who made it
Will pass away with it.”
After all is said and done, you will leave the results of your work to others either by chance or design. Thus give and take things. Indulge yourself, because you will not be able to enjoy luxuries after your death in Hades, the afterlife underworld. Everyone is like an old garment that is wearing out. Like leaves on a tree, some are falling off, while others are blooming. Life is full of people who are either dying and or being born. Every work decays and ceases to exist. So too will the person who made these things pass away.
