Must we unto the pismire go to school, br To learn of her in summer to provide br For winter next ensuing. Man's a fool, br Or silly ants would not be made his guide. br But, sluggard, is it not a shame for thee br To be outdone by pismires? Pr'ythee hear: br Their works, too, will thy condemnation be br When at the judgment-seat thou shalt appear. br But since thy God doth bid thee to her go, br Obey, her ways consider, and be wise; br The piss-ant tell thee will what thou must do, br And set the way to life before thine eyes.
