"THE ROUND OF THE CLOCK."
•The industrious 'pore,' Must get up at four. Those who would thrive. Must get up at five. Those who lay bricks Ought to get up at six. Those who have thriven May rest until seven. The rich and the great May lie until eight. The pampered and line May snooze until nine. Only great men May sleep until ten. The famed Sleepers Seven Slept on till eleven. Those on night-shifts who delve May repose until twelve. A millionaire's son Often rises at one. Leader-writers (a. few) Must sleep until two. And a Spanish grandee May get up at three." —Anonymous.
