Is there [a man] who lives forever ? He who comes with Osiris passes, Just as he leaves who indulged himself. Advance your officials, so that they act by your laws. He who has wealth at home will not be partial. He is a rich man who lacks nothing. The poor man does not speak justly, Not righteous is one who says, “I wish I had,” He inclines to him who will pay him.
