Count not that far that can be had — Moderate

Count not that far that can be had, ¹
Though sunset lie between－
Nor that adjacent, that beside,
Is further than the sun.

(F.1124/J.1074)

[1] Count not, far:: consider not the eternal happiness (death), far but can be had.
[2] sunset:: decline of one's life, old age.
[3] Nor, adjacent:: something easy to get.
[4] further, sun:: far from glory, disgraceful. Lust at hand often causes disgrace. Do not depend on the heaven after death, nor the lust at hand.
