HYMN 385. (3. PART.)
Argument.
Envy not worldlings honour nor delight,Which ends in horrour and perpetual night.
Psalm 49.
O Be not thou solicitous,when any is made rich,And when the Glory of his housegets to an higher pitch.For when his time shall come to die,nought with him shall he have,His pomp shall not accompanyhis person to the Grave.
descriptionPage 447
Though while he liv'd he blest his soul,and men will much commend,A man that lives without controll,and doth himself befriend.
He shall go down to his own place,into perpetual night,Among his cursed Father's race,and never more see light.
Thus man in honour and repute,yet understanding not,Is well compared to the fruit,which soon must die and rot.
