The man of life upright,/ Whose guiltless heart is free/ From all dishonest deeds/ Or thought of vanity.

The man of life upright has a guiltless heart, free from all dishonest deeds or thought of vanity.

Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

It may easily come to pass that a vain man may become proud and imagine himself pleasing to all when he is in reality a universal nuisance

Vanity dies hard; in some obstinate cases it outlives the man.
