No wonder honesty’s a lasting article,
Seeing that people seldom use a particle.

A Politician

He served his God in such a fashion
As ne’er put Satan in a passion.

The Candle

For foolish pastimes oft, full oft, they thee ignite,
I oft a pastime prove for tongues with folly rife;
By wasting of thyself thou yieldest others light,
And I in self same way must use my luckless life.
