The morning question,
What good shall I do this day?
Rise, wash, and address
Powerful Goodness;
contrive day’s business,
and take the resolution of the day;
prosecute the present study;
and breakfast.
Work.
Read, or overlook my
accounts, and dine.
Work.
Put things in their places,
supper, music or diversion,
or conversation;
examination of the day.
Evening question,
What good have I done today?
Sleep.
