2 It's vain for you betime to rise, And late [your selves] from rest to keep; To eat the bread of grief and care, While God's beloved [rest and] sleep.
3 Good Children are God's heritage, The womb's [blest] fruit [is] his reward:
4 Children of youth like arrows are, For Parents strength [and joy] prepared.

5 Happy therein is he that hath [His house] his Quiver full of those; For he unashamed in the gate Shall [boldly] speak unto his foes.
5 Happy therein is he that hath [His house] his Quiver full of those; For he unshamed in the gate Shall [boldly] speak unto his foes.
