Riches

Creation is all, as the sages agree, Of the elements four in man's body that be; Water's the blood, and fire is the nature Which prompts generation in every creature.

The earth is the flesh which with beauty is rife, The air is the breath, without which is no life; So man must be always accounted the same As the substances four which exist in his frame.

And as in their creation distinction there's none 'Twixt man and the world, so the Infinite One Unto man a clear wisdom did bounteously give The nature of everything to perceive.
