13 A poore chylde beyng wise, is better then an olde kyng that doteth, and can not beware in tyme to come.

14 Some one commeth out of prison, and is made a kyng: and another which is borne in the kyngdome, commeth vnto pouertie.

15 And I perceaued that all men lyuyng vnder the sunne, go with the seconde childe that shall stande vp in the steade of the other.
