4A slow hand hath wrought needi-ness; but the hand of strong men maketh ready riches. Forsooth he that enforceth or endeavoureth to get any-thing by leasings, feedeth the winds; soothly the same man pursueth birds flying or followeth flying birds.
5He that gathereth together in harvest, is a wise son; but he that sleepeth in summer, is a son of confusion.
