In other versions

One dies in his full vigor,

being wholly at ease and secure,

his pails full of milk

and the marrow of his bones moist.

Another dies in bitterness of soul,

never having tasted of prosperity.

They lie down alike in the dust,

and the worms cover them.

One person dies in full vigor,

completely secure and at ease,

well nourished in body,

bones rich with marrow.

Another dies in bitterness of soul,

never having enjoyed anything good.

Side by side they lie in the dust,

and worms cover them both.

One person dies in excellent health,

completely secure and at ease.

His body is well fed,

and his bones are full of marrow.

Yet another person dies with a bitter soul,

having never tasted prosperity.

But they both lie in the dust,

and worms cover them.

One person dies in prosperity,

completely comfortable and secure,

the picture of good health,

vigorous and fit.

Another person dies in bitter poverty,

never having tasted the good life.

But both are buried in the same dust,

both eaten by the same maggots.

This one dies in full prosperity,

completely at ease and secure.

His vats are full with milk

and the marrow of his bones is moist.

Yet another dies with a bitter inner self

and has not tasted prosperity.

They lie down together in the dust,

and maggots cover them.
