JOHN, as he came, so went away, <br /> Consuming capital and pay, <br /> Holding superfluous riches cheap; <br />The trick of spending time he knew, <br />Dividing it in portions two, <br /> For idling one, and one for sleep.<br /><br />La Fontaine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/epitaph-of-la-fontaine-made-by-himself/
