Vir avarus moriturus est,
aureorum acervum relicturus,
ingentem,
sed male partum.
Vir iubet,
"Affer mihi nummorum sacculum!"
Tunc vir sacculum interrogat,
"O saccule, dic mihi:
post mortem meam,
quibus voluptatem dabis?"
Sacculus respondet,
"Heredibus tuis voluptatem dabo:
istos nummos, quos contineo,
a te tanto sudore quaesitos,
in scortis et conviviis profundent!
Daemones quoque gaudebunt,
qui animam tuam mancipabunt
aeternis suppliciis!"
Haec fabula indicat:
stultissimum est
in iis laborare
quae ferunt aliis gaudium,
nobis autem tormentum.

Typo in the vocabula I think :)
