Moderately wise
a man should be
not too crafty or clever.
A learned man's heart
whose learning is deep
seldom sings with joy.

---


Wake early
if you want
another man's life or land.
No lamb
for the lazy wolf.
No battle's won in bed.


---


Go you must.
No guest shall stay
in one place for ever.
Love will be lost
if you sit too long
at a friend's fire.
