A Good name is better then precious ointment: and the day of death, then the day of ones birth.

It is better to goe to the house of mourning, then to goe to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men, and the liuing will lay it to his heart.

Sorrow is better then laughter: for by the sadnesse of the countenance the heart is made better.

The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning: but the heart of fooles is in the house of mirth.

It is better to heare the rebuke of the wise, then for a man to heare the song of fooles.

For as the crackling of thornes vnder a pot, so is the laughter of the foole: this also is vanitie.
