4 aGive no sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids.

And like a bird from the hand of the1 fowler. 

The Folly of Indolence

6 aGo to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise, 
7 Which, having no1 captain,
Overseer or ruler,

9 aHow long will you1 slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep? 
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep—
