Dhammapada 48 [Khuddaka Nikaya]

4 - Pupphavagga, Flowers
4 - Patipujikakumari Vatthu

Pupphani heva pacinantam,
bysssasattamanasam naram;
atittanneva kamesu,
antako kurute vasam.

48: Like one who picks and chooses flowers, a man who has his mind attached to sensual pleasures and is insatiate in them is over powered by Death.
