Matthew Poole and continuators on Ecclesiastes 7:4

4 The heart of the wi[illegible: 1+ letters]e is in the house of mourning ; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth .

Even when their bodies are absent. They are constantly, or very frequently meditating upon sad and serious things, such as Death and Judgment, the Vanity of this Life, and the reality and eternity of the next; because they know that these thoughts, though they be not grateful to the sensual part, yet they are absolutely necessary, and highly profitable, and most comfortable in the end, which every wise man most regards.

Their minds and affections are wholly set upon feasting, and jolly, because, like Fools and brutish Creatures, they regard only their present delight, and mind not how dearly they must pay for them.
