Six hours on prayer,
On law's sweet study, six.
Four hours on sleep,
The rest on nature fix.
--Sir Edward Coke
Afterthought: I almost wrote that there is no good biography biography of Coke, unless you count Catherine Drinker Bowen's Lion and the Throne. Woops, wrong: apparently there is. And Liberty Classics has put its fine set of Coke papers online.
