Sir William Jones, so well known for his great acquisitions in oriental
literature, was no less remarkable for his piety.--A friend reciting Sir
Edward Coke's couplet of
"Six hours to sleep, in law's grave study six,
Four spend in prayer, the rest on nature fix,"
he subjoined, rather say,
Seven hours to law, to soothing slumber seven,
Ten to the world allot, and _all to Heav'n_.
