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

The Spartan Chilo said, "Know thyself," a heaven-born phrase

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.
