Ec 2:1-3 (King James)

   ¹ I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity. ² I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it? ³ I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

Ec 2:1-3 (Vulgate)

   ¹ [Dixi ego in corde meo : Vadam,
et affluam deliciis, et fruar bonis ;
et vidi quod hoc quoque esset vanitas.
   ² Risum reputavi errorem,
et gaudio dixi : Quid frustra deciperis ?
   ³ Cogitavi in corde meo abstrahere a vino carnem meam,
ut animam meam transferrem ad sapientiam,
devitaremque stultitiam,
donec viderem quid esset utile filiis hominum,
quo facto opus est sub sole numero dierum vitæ suæ.
