然而明日之事、固非爾所能逆知也。盍一思之、爾之生命、果為何物？人生在世、實如雲煙過眼、瞬息即杳。

但明日如何、爾不知也、爾生命伊何、猶雲霧耳、暫見而即無矣、

獨是明日之事、爾且弗能知、爾命伊何、猶雲霧聚散倏忽、出沒頃刻、

但明日究竟如何、爾不知也、爾之生命如何、乃如雲霧暫現、頃刻即不見矣、

經云：『人生如野草、榮華草上花草枯花亦謝：

大限何日屆。壽數幾多長。

小子患難日。莫掩爾慈顏。小子竭聲呼。營救莫遷延。

富貴者應以謙恭為樂。蓋世之榮華、猶如草花、不久即謝；

萬物之終局、已日近一日、爾其朝乾夕惕、儆醒祈禱。

又如中宵夢。夢醒更已易。光陰似急湍。漂人到大海。人生如朝菌。晨榮暮凋謝。況復值聖怒。孰能無怵惕。

何時開聖顏。何時息炎烝。
