A pretty wife? Beware the monks as you would guard your life

     Above all law is might

     Avoid attorneys, if you comfort crave

     Delays are dangerous, in love or war

     Ev'ry grave's the same

     Extremes in ev'ry thing will soonest tire

     In childhood FEAR 's the lesson first we know!

     In country villages each step is seen

     In the midst of society, he was absent from it

     Monks are knaves in Virtue's mask

     No folly greater than to heighten pain

     Some ostentation ever is with grief

     The god of love and wisdom ne'er agree

     Those who weep most the soonest gain relief

     Tis past our pow'r to live on love or air

     Twere wrong with hope our fond desires to feed

     We scarcely good can find without alloy

     Who knows too much, oft shows a want of sense
