Alone — Who has none but himself to care for. Brother — To whom he may leave his vast estate. Yet — He lives in perpetual restlessness and toil. For whom — Having no kindred to enjoy it. And bereave — Deny myself those comforts and conveniences which God hath allowed me? A sore travel — A dreadful judgment, as well as a great sin.

Ecclesiastes 4:8
8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
