5. For our time is like the passing of a shadow, and nothing can reverse our end, for it is signed and sealed, and cannot be returned.
6. Therefore, hurry, let us enjoy the good things of the present time, and let us quickly use up passing things, just as in youth.
7. Let us indulge ourselves with costly wine and ointments, and let no flower of youth pass us by.
8. Let us surround ourselves with rosebuds before they wither; let no meadow be left untouched by our indulgence.
