TIME TRIUMPHS OVER THE WORLD AS WELL AS OVER THE MOST SUPERB EDIFICES
PHILOSOPHER PREACHING
THE PLEASURES OF THE WORLD RESEMBLE A FLOWER, THE WIND, AND MOVING WAVES
IT IS USELESS TO HOPE TO CONQUER THE WORLD, SINCE THE ANCIENTS DID NOT SUCCEED
THE WORLD SHIPWRECKS THOSE WHO RELY ON IT
THE WORLD IS MORE INCONSTANT THAN THE SUN AND THE PLANETS (APOLLO IN HIS CHARIOT)
THE WORLD IS HOLLOW, EVOLVES CONSTANTLY, AND HAS AN APPEARANCE OF BEAUTY
VIRTUE VICTORIOUS IN SPITE OF THE EFFORTS OF THE WORLD
SHARE WITH THE POOR THE GOODS OF THIS WORLD FOR REWARD IN THE OTHER
WORLD DRAWING HUMAN BEINGS INTO THE ABYSS
