Here and hereafter doth he mourn, him suffering doth 
doubly irk, 
Who doeth evil, seeing now at last how evil was his work. 
 
The virtuous man rejoices here, hereafter doth he take 
delight, 
Both ways rejoices, both delights, as seeing that his work 
was right. 
 
Here and hereafter suffers he :  the pains of shame his 
bosom fill 
Who thinks “ I did the wrong,” laments his going on the Path 
of Ill. 
 
Here and hereafter hath he joy :  in both the joy of rectitude 
Who thinks “ I did the right ” and goes rejoicing on the Path 
of Good. 
 
A-many verses though he can recite of Law, the idle man 
who doth it not 
Is like an herd who numbereth cows of others, Priesthood 
him allows nor part nor lot. 
 
Who little of the Law can cite, yet knows and walks 
therein aright, and shuns the snare 
Of passion, folly, hate entwined :  Right Effort liberates his 
mind, he doth not care
