JOHN, as he came, so went away,
Consuming capital and pay,
Holding superfluous riches cheap;
The trick of spending time he knew,
Dividing it in portions two,
For idling one, and one for sleep.
Back to Jean de La Fontaine

Holding superfluous riches cheap;

Dividing it in portions two,
For idling one, and one for sleep.
