Three things have been too wonderful for me, Yea, four that I have not known: The way of the eagle in the heavens, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the heart of the sea, And the way of a man in youth.

For three things hath earth been troubled, And for four -- it is not able to bear: For a servant when he reigneth, And a fool when he is satisfied with bread, For a hated one when she ruleth, And a maid-servant when she succeedeth her mistress. Four are little ones of earth, And they are made wiser than the wise: The ants are a people not strong, And they prepare in summer their food, Conies are a people not strong, And they place in a rock their house, A king there is not to the locust, And it goeth out -- each one shouting, A spider with two hands taketh hold, And is in the palaces of a king. Three there are going well, Yea, four are good in going: An old lion -- mighty among beasts, That turneth not back from the face of any, A girt one of the loins, or a he-goat, And a king -- no rising up with him.
