Go to the ^(A)ant, O ^(B)sluggard,
Observe her ways and be wise,

Which, having ^(C)no chief,
Officer or ruler,

And gathers her provision in the harvest.

How long will you lie down, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?

A little folding of the hands to ^(a)rest”—

And your need like ^(c)an armed man.
