The Intellect Strengthened by Study
A. I F I do this what further can I do?
B. Why, more than ever. Every task thou dost
Brings strength and capability to act,
He who doth climb the difficult mountain's top,
Will the next day outstrip an idler man.
Dip thy young brain in wise men's deep discourse,—
In books, which though they freeze thy wit awhile,
Will knit thee, i' the end, with wisdom.
