HYMN 90. The Sluggard rouz••d.
Prov. 6.6.10.4, 5.
GO to the Ant, thou slothfull one,learn of her, and be wise,Who having Guide or Ruler noneto order or advise,Provides her meat in Summers heat,in harvest stores her food;While thou art deep in sloth and sleep,and still in that dull mood.
Whereby thy want and povertycomes fast and fiercely on,As travaylers come suddainly,or like an armed man.
descriptionPage 87
For he is sure to grow full poorthat lets his business slack;But (understand) the diligent handmakes rich, and feels no lack.
A prudent son is he therefore,and that shall be his stile,That labours hard, and lays up storein heat and harvest•• while.But he that keeps his bed, and sleeps▪in harvest, is to blame,And fitly shall be stil'd of alla son that causeth shame.
