As if the one his hands buried in the dust
had done love no good when his burier returns.
Had loved no more when back his burier came

A body will fall into ruin when its soul departs,
In ruin falls what envy built in trust
like a house that falls into ruin when its inhabitant leaves.
Like a house when gone is he who in it came
