<p class="poetry">Let your eyes look directly<n id="1" /> in front of youp> <p class="poetry">and let your gaze<n id="2" /> look straight before you.p>

<p class="poetry">Keep my commands<n id="1" /> so that you may live,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and obey<n id="3" /> my instruction as your most prized possession.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">Your eyes will see strange things,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and your mind will speak perverse things.p>

<p class="poetry">Do not love sleep,<n id="1" /> lest you become impoverished;p> <p class="poetry">open your eyes so that<n id="2" /> you might be satisfied with food.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">for it is better for him<n id="1" /> to say to you, &#8220;Come up here,&#8221;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">than to put you lower<n id="3" /> before a prince,p> <p class="poetry">whom your eyes have seen.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">When you gaze upon riches,<n id="1" /> they are gone,p> <p class="poetry">for they surely make wings for themselves,p> <p class="poetry">and fly off into the sky like an eagle!<n id="2" />p>
