Peril,suffering,and disease,a boil,a dart,and a tie,
a swamp and a womb:these describe the sensual pleasures
to which the worldling is attached.

and does not neglect clear comprehension,
in such a way he transcends this miserable bog;
he surveys this trembling population that has fallen into birth and old age.
