Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then said I in my heart, that this also is vanity.
And Y seide in myn herte, If o deth schal be boþe of þe fool and of me, what profitith it to me, þat Y yaf more bisynesse to wisdom? And Y spak with my soule, and perseyuede, þat this also was vanyte.
