You think Ecclesiastes on the Old Testament has a moral lofty line & poetry to it? Try popular sentiments written 1500-2000yrs earlier by the Egyptians, are as great & greater given how earlier they were sung & written:

The gods [kings] who were in past times rest in their pyramids.
The noble also and the wise are buried in their pyramids.
They that built houses, their place is no longer.
Thou seest what is become of them. ...
No one comes thence to tell us what is become of them.
To tell us how it fares with them, to comfort our heart.
Until thou approachest the place whither they are gone.
Forget not to glorify thyself with joyful heart,
And follow thy heart as long as thou livest.

Lay myrrh upon thy head; clothe thyself in fine linen,
Anointing thyself with the truly marvelous things of god.
Adorn thyself; make thyself as fair as thou canst;
And let thy heart sink not.
Follow thy heart and thy joy.
As long as thou livest upon earth:
Trouble not thy heart until the day of mourning come upon thee.
With joyous countenance keep a day of festival, and rest not in it;
For no one takes his goods with him;
Yea, no one returns that is gone hence.
