“Princes in the workhouse,
He who did not sleep on a box owns a bed.
See, the man of wealth lies thirsting.
He who begged dregs has overflowing bowls.
See, those who owned robes are in rags,
He who did not weave for himself owns fine linen.
See, he who did not build a boat for himself owns ships,
Their owner looks at them: they are not his.”
― Ancient Egyptian Literature, Volume I: The Old and Middle Kingdoms

“See, he who slept wifeless found a noblewoman,
He who was not seen stands.
See, he who had nothing is a man of wealth. The nobleman sings his praise.
See, the poor of the land have become rich, The man of property is a pauper.
See, cooks have become masters of butlers,
He who was a messenger sends someone else.
See, he who had no loaf owns a barn.
His storeroom is filled with another鈥檚 goods. See, the baldhead who lacked oil
Has become owner of jars of sweet myrrh.
See, she who lacked a box has furniture.
She who saw her face in the water owns a mirror.”
