Ducunt in bonis dies suos, & in puncto ad inferna descendunt. 10 B XXI. Consumunt uitam per gaudia multa puellæ, omne uoluptatum percipiuntq́; genus. Tristitia curisq́; uacant, animoq́; soluto otia delitiis condita semper amant. Sed miseræ tandem fato nuttuntur ad orcum, vertit ubi summus gaudia tanta dolor.
