The early bird catches the worm; and the
twelve-year old prostitute attracts the am-
bassador.
Neglect not the dawn-meditation!
The first plovers’ eggs fetch the highest prices ;
the flower of virginity is esteemed by the
pandar.
Neglect not the dawn-meditation!
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man healthy and wealthy and wise:
But late to watch and early to pray
Brings him across The Abyss, they say.
Neglect not the dawn-meditation!
