I'll tell the names and sayings and the places of their birth,
Of the seven great ancient sages so renowned on Grecian earth,

And Bias from Priene showed, "Bad men are the most rife";
Milesian Thales uregd that "None should e'er a surety be";
Few were there words, but if you look, you'll much in little see.
