Whether rich or poor, his heart is content, and his face is always wreathed in smiles.
Whether rich or poor, his heart is content, and at all times his face is cheerful.
Whether rich or poor, his heart is content, and at all times his face is cheerful.
Whether rich or poor, his heart is content, and at all times his face is cheerful.
Whether rich or poor, his heart is content, and at all times his face is cheerful.
Whether rich or poor, his heart is glad, and at all times his face is cheerful.
Whether rich or poor, his heart is glad, and at all times his face is cheerful.
Forsooth (if) the heart of a rich man and (or) of a poor man is good; in all time their cheer (or his face) is glad. [Of rich forsooth and (or) poor the good heart; in all time the cheer of them gladsome.]
