Wisdom 2:5-8 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

5. For our time is as the passing of a shadow, and there is no going back of our end: for it is fast sealed, and no man returneth.

6. Come therefore, and let us enjoy the good things that are present, and let us speedily use the creatures as in youth.

7. Let us fill ourselves with costly wine, and ointments: and let not the flower of the time pass by us.

8. Let us crown ourselves with roses, before they be withered: let no meadow escape our riot.
