Riddle » By agur
This generation which is like a horse-leech, hath two daughters; the one is called "fetch hither," and the other "bring hither." There be three things that are never satisfied, and the fourth sayeth never, "Hoo." The hell, a woman's womb, and the earth hath never water enough. As for fire, it sayeth never, "Hoo."
There be three things too high for me, and as for the fourth, it passeth my knowledge. The way of an Eagle in the air, the way of a serpent over a stone, the way of a ship in the sea, and the way of a man with a young woman. Such is the way also of a wife that breaketh wedlock, which wipeth her mouth like as when she hath eaten, and sayeth, "As for me, I have done no harm." read more.
Through three things the earth is disquieted, and the fourth may it not bear: through a servant that beareth rule, through a fool that hath great riches, through an idle housewife, and through a handmaiden that is heir to her mistress. There be four things in the earth, the which are very little: but in wisdom they exceed the wise. The Emmets are but a weak people, yet gather they their meat together in the harvest. The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their couches among the rocks. The grasshoppers have not a guide, yet go they forth together by heaps. The spider laboureth with her hands, and that in the kings' palace. There be three things that go stiffly, but the going of the fourth is the goodliest of all. A Lion which is king of beasts, and giveth place to no man; A cock ready to fight; A ram; and a king that goeth forth with his people.
