Ecclesiastes 7:1-6

¹Surely there be many things that increase vanitie: and what auaileth it man?

²For who knoweth what is good for man in the life and in the nomber of the dayes of the life of his vanitie, seeing he maketh them as a shadowe? For who can shewe vnto man what shall be after him vnder the sunne?

³A good name is better then a good oyntment, and the day of death, then the day that one is borne.

⁴It is better to goe to the house of mourning, then to goe to the house of feasting, because this is the ende of all men: and the liuing shall lay it to his heart.

⁵Anger is better then laughter: for by a sad looke the heart is made better.

⁶The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning: but the heart of fooles is in the house of mirth.
