For a<br/>rich man indeed is busy with banquets and lacerated by many thoughts, is not<br/>able to sleep, and abounds in hangovers and uncooked food boils in the<br/>intestines of his stomach. More<br/>precisely, since it is called sleep, and is a common exit from life, that rest<br/>will be better for him, who is busy at present and reserves his strength for<br/>good work, than the riches of those men, about whom it is written: \"woe to<br/>you, O rich, for you have received your consolation\".
