There are four things which are little upon the earth,\par\tab But they are exceeding wise:
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee;\par\tab And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:
Go to the ant, thou sluggard;\par\tab Consider her ways, and be wise:
For an odious woman when she is married;\par\tab And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.\par
The ants are a people not strong,\par\tab Yet they provide their food in the summer;
