155

Acaritvā brahmacariyaṃ,
aladdhā yobbane dhanaṃ;
Jiṇṇakoñcāva jhāyanti,
khīṇamaccheva pallale.

Men who have not observed proper discipline, and have not gained treasure in their youth, perish like old herons in a lake without fish.

Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
