Who fain would sow the fallow field,
\nAnd see the growing corn,
\nMust first remove the useless weeds,
\nThe bramble and the thorn.
\nAfter ill savour, honey’s taste
\nIs to the mouth more sweet;
\nAfter the storm, the twinkling stars
\nThe eyes more cheerly greet.
\nWhen night hath past, the bright dawn comes
\nIn car of rosy hue;
\nSo drive the false bliss from thy mind,
\nAnd thou shall see the true.<\/p>\n
