“Learn from the beasts the physic of the field.”

“If I am right, Thy grace impart Still in the right to stay; If I am wrong, O, teach my heart To find that better way!”

“Learn from the birds what food the thickets yield; Learn from the beasts the physic of the field; The arts of building from the bee receive; Learn of the mole to plow, the worm to weave.”
