Take knowledge, in its final form, to be
The greatest gain and greatest good for now.
There's time enough to love and to run free
But foolishness is risky; I'll allow
A certain charm and weight to bourgeoisie,
But stick to higher echelons. I vow,
The road to greater knowledge brings reward.
Leave not your books and lectures unexplored.
