Here's the link to the ethical will: https://archive.org/stream/pathofgoodmencol00edel/pathofgoodmencol00edel_djvu.txt The poem appears in a different translation in this link, which is a short discussion about the misattribution: http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pagefeed/hebrewbooks_org_38468_177.pdf Elsewhere, someone said the quote was included in Leo Rostern's Treasury of Jewish Quotes - perhaps there is a full attribution there.
