He that loveth pleasure That gives himself up to the pursuit and enjoyment of sensual pleasure; shall be a poor man Takes the ready course to poverty. He that loveth wine and oil Which were much used in feasts in those parts; that is, he that loves to feast and live delicately; shall not be rich For the lusts of sensuality are not maintained but at a great expense.
