On the Immortality of the Soul and Virtue's Reward
Poem fragments debating the immortality of the soul and the futility of earthly pleasures. It questions the value of reason if virtue yields no reward and contrasts the libertine's carefree life with a final, deathly end. It ends by urging a turn from earth's happiness to a more just measure of merit amid fortune's frowns.
