ture comes. In the destroyer's steps
there spring up bright creations that
defy his power, and his dark path
becomes a way of light to Heaven"

A Proverb Revised for the Times.
Go to the sluggard, thou ant!
Consider his ways and be wise;
Why worry and fret, and toll and
sweat,
While he at leisure liesi
You labor from morn till evening,
From early spring till fall,
But the sluggard eats as many
sweets
As you, with no labor at all
You fill your store for winter,
But some old hungry hen
Will scent your wheat and with
sharp-clawed feet
Will scratch it out again.
You'll starve and freeze, but the
sluggard,
At charity's table fed,
Will revel in fat when you lie fat
On your back in the gutter dead.
Then learn from the sluggard, o ant |!
Enjoy your time as it flies;
Nor rack your brain for heap of
grain
While he in slumber lies.
