Sedulitas 1. amat labores, fugit Ignaviam, semper est in opere, ut Formica, 2. & comportat sibi, ut illa, omnium rerum Copi∣am. 3.
Non dormit semper, aut ferias agit,
ut Ignavus 4. & Cicada; 5. quos tandem premit Inopia. 6.
Incepta urget alacriter, ad finem usque; nihil procrastinat, nec cantat cantilenam Corvi, 7. qui ingeminat Cras, cras.
Post labores exant∣latos, & lassata, quiescit: Sed, quiete recreata, ne adsuescat Otio, redit ad Negotia.
Diligens Discipulus, similis est Apibus, 8. qui ex variis Floribus, 9. Mel congerunt in Alveare 10. suum.
Diligence 1. loveth labours, avoideth Sloth, is always at work, like the Pismire, 2. and carrieth together, as she doth, for her self, store of all things. 3.
She doth not always sléep, or make holidays,
as the Sluggard, 4. & the Grashopper 5. do; whom Want 6. at the last overtaketh.
She pursueth what things she hath under∣taken cheerfully, even to the end; she putteth nothing off till the morrow, nor doth she sing the Crows song, 7. which saith over & o∣ver Cras, cras.
After labours under∣gone, and ended, being even wearied, she resteth her self; but deing refreshed with Rest, that she may not use her self to Idleness, she falleth again to her business.
A diligent Scholar is like Bees, 8. which carry honey from divers flowers 9. into their Hive. 10.
