Sol 5.6

  1. The matter has drawn near after being far away;

    the beloved has shown favor after turning away.

  2. And after misery and a straitened life,

    I have come to its ease and plenty.

  3. Yet it is a borrowed garment,

    which must inevitably be taken off and returned.

  4. How can a man rejoice in his good fortune,

    when its very existence is the cause of its loss?
