I Thinke you would be wise; for, most men seeme

To make of Knowledge very great esteeme.

If such be your desires, this Emblem view;

And, marke how well the Figures, counsell you.

Wee by the Bird of Athens, doe expresse,

That painefull, and that usefull watchfulnesse,

Which ought to bee enjoyned, unto them,

Who seeke a place, in Wisdomes Academ.

For, as an Owle mewes up her selfe by Day,

And watcheth in the Night, to get her prey;
