Warned by Wisdom Against Wild Hope and Vanity
A didactic lament warns readers against chasing deceptive pleasures and fragile beauty. It urges prudence, moral reform, and honest living, urging readers to turn to virtue and charity while reflecting on past losses and the inevitability of death. The piece laments time’s passage and calls for a sober, righteous path forward.
