Commentary on Proverbs
Proverbs 20:4: "The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing."
He who will not work must beg, and this is surely a mean employment for a man who is able to work; but although he can conquer shame sufficiently ***to be take himself to it***, his misery is than nobody will give him anything, for why should drones eat the labor of the bees?

Yo traduciría: ... porque aun cuando pudiera vencer la vergüenza suficiente como para rebajarse tanto, su peor tragedia es que nadie le dará nada, porque eso sería como que los zánganos gozaran de la labor de las abejas.

Pero el "be" est� en el original.
No s� si ser� alguna estructura de ingl�s antiguo (el texto es del siglo XIX).
