Retire, betimes, in hours nocturnal,
And likewise arise at onset diurnal.
There's counsel of value, for he who takes heed
(Provided adherence thereunto succeed)
Shall square up a balance of life's humours four,
And open his purse wherein riches shall pour.
Apart these two boons by all men desired,
Withal comes this third, so rarely acquired.
'Tis a gift most sublime, one which will accrue
Knowledge sufficient to know what is true.
