While yet we live, let us live for pleasure;
let us eat and play, expend our coin;
For when we must the earth rejoin,
what will our dusty bones then treasure?

In all the universe, no God
gives any sign of His Great Power.
Behold the bee courting the flower:
so life resolves to lust, and sod.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust-
savor the food; embrace the lust!
