'Pleasure comes, but not to stay; Even this shall pass away.'

'What is wealth?' the king would say, 'Even this shall pass away'.

'Pain is hard to bear,' he cried, 'But with patience, day by day, Even this shall pass away.'

So, lest I be inclined To render ill for ill,- Henceforth in me instil, O God, a sweet good-will To all mankind.
