Such vigorous limbs, such health complete;

No mind so active, brisk and gay

As his who toils the livelong day.

A life of sloth drags hardly on;

Suns set too late and rise too soon.

Youth, manhood, age, all linger slow

To him who nothing has to do.

The drone, a nuisance to the hive,

Stays, but can scarce be said to live;

And well the bees, those judges wise,
