TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>I thinke you would be wise; for, most men seeme<lb/>
                                To make of Knowledge very great esteeme.<lb/>
                                If such be your desires, this Emblem view;<lb/>
                                And, marke how well the Figures, counsell you.<lb/>
                                Wee by the Bird of Athens, doe expresse,<lb/>
                                That painefull, and that usefull watchfulnesse,<lb/>
                                Which ought to bee enjoyned, unto them,<lb/>
                                Who seeke a place, in Wisdomes Academ.<lb/>
                                For, as an Owle mewes up her selfe by Day,<lb/>
                                And watcheth in the Night, to get her prey;<lb/>
                                Ev'n so, good Students, neither must be such,<lb/>
                                As daily gad; or nightly sleepe too much.<lb/>
                                That open-booke, on which the Owle is perch'd,<lb/>
                                Affords a Morall, worthy to be search'd:<lb/>
                                For, it informes, and, darkly doth advise,<lb/>
                                Your Watchings be not after Vanities;<lb/>
                                (Or, like their Wakings, who turne dayes to nights,<lb/>
                                In following their unlawfull appetites)<lb/>
                                And, that, in keeping Home, you doe not spend<lb/>
                                Your houres in sloth, or, to some fruitlesse end.<lb/>
                                But, rather in good Studies ; and, in that,<lb/>
                                By which, true Knowledge, is arrived at.<lb/>
                                For, if your Studies, and your Wakings, bee<lb/>
                                To this intent; you shall that Path-way see<lb/>
                                To Wisdome, and to Honour, which was found,<lb/>
                                Of them, whose Knowledge hath been most renownd.<lb/>
                                But, if your Watchings, and Retyrednesse,<lb/>
                                Be for your Lust, or, out of Sottishnesse ;<lb/>
                                You are not, what th' Athenian-Owle implies,<lb/>
                                But, what our English-Owlet signifies.<lb/>
