¶ The Ant.
ALthough a creature small,yet allMy labour, pains, and care('tis rare)Is in the Summer to provideAgainst the Cold and Winter-tide.And though so small, yet Ian eyeCan have to things: for whenweak menWaste time in Feasts and Riot,I study for my Diet.Idleness breeds Distempers, Povertie,Gives room for Sin; ye Sluggards, learn of me.
