Et dixi in corde meo: Si unus et stulti et meus occasus erit, quid mihi prodest quod majorem sapientiæ dedi operam? Locutusque cum mente mea, animadverti quod hoc quoque esset vanitas.
And I said in my heart: If the death of the fool and mine shall be one, what doth it avail me, that I have applied myself more to the study of wisdom? And speaking with my own mind, I perceived that this also was vanity.
Et dic in corde meo: si uno et stulto et meo occasu es, quid ad me prosum quod magna de sapientia da opera? Et locuto cum mente meo, animadverte quod hoc etiam es vanitate.
