Excerpt from Through CyprusCome travel soon thy friends will be replaced. Come work, and life's true sweetness thou shalt know. Success and fame are never found in rest, But cares are. Leave thy native land, and go. For water, that by standing waxeth foul, Is sweet and good if once it 'gin to ¿ow. No eye of watcher will observe the moon, Unless her wondrous changes she doth show The hunter starts before the lion dies The arrow hits not ere it leaves the bow, The world hath mines where gold is common dust, And climes where scented woods as fuel glow. How rich the lore that some by travel seek! How great the gains of some by travel grow! From the Arabic.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
