Par 

1 Knowest thou the time whe the wylde goates bring foorth their young among the stonye rockes? or layest thou wayte when the hindes vse to calue?

2 Canst thou number the monethes that they go with young? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth?

3 They lye downe, they calue their young ones, and they are deliuered of their trauaile and paine:

4 Yet their young ones grow vp, and waxe fatte through good feeding with corne: They go foorth, and returne not againe vnto them.

5 Who letteth the wylde asse to go free? or who looseth the bondes of the wylde mule?

6 Euen I which haue geuen the wyldernesse to be their house, and the vntilled land to be their dwelling.

7 They force not for the multitude of people in the citie, neither regarde the crying of the driuer:

8 But seeke their pasture about the mountaines, and folowe the greene grasse.

9 Wyll the vnicorne do thee seruice, or abide still by thy cribbe?

10 Canst thou binde the yoke about the vnicorne in the forowe, to make him plowe after thee in the valleyes?

11 Mayst thou trust him because he is strong, or commit thy labour vnto him?

12 Mayst thou beleue him that he wyll bring home thy corne, or carry any thing vnto thy barne?
