The slothful man saith Alleges as his excuse to them who upbraid him with idleness, or persuade him to diligence; There is a lion without There are extreme dangers and invincible difficulties in my way; I shall be slain By that lion, or some other way; in the streets This is added to show the ridiculousness of his excuse; for lions abide in the woods, or fields, not in the streets of towns or cities.
