You will all return to our ancient Mother, And even your names will scarcely survive you! Even though the work of a thousand men seems useful, Is it not all plainly in vain? If anyone understands your studies, let him tell me. What is the purpose of conquering so many countries And receiving tribute from so many peoples When their minds are always intent on harming you? After perilous and vain endeavors And the acquisition of lands and treasures by bloodshed, It is sweeter to find bread and water, Glass and wood, than diadems and gold. Where are the riches now? Where are the honors? And those diadems, scepters and crowns? And those mitres with purple hues? Wretched is he who places his trust in mortal things.
