[Duly, in turn, the wise man looks]
[Our life is a ship at sea]
[No one his country understands]
[There's much a first look cannot give]
[You search: save one thing, all the world is nought.]
[Who cannot money save]
[“Take time to think”—so do: but this you'll find]
[Undutiful children get many a curse]
[Against it are a thousand reasons,—one]
[Young Inexperience misjudges, no doubt]
[Life has enough of trouble]
[Observe thy Dreams.]
[Liberality's much in vogue]
[If we had neither church nor throne]
[One who can see without seeming to see,—]
[Look close at your bills; do you find no cheat?]
[When changes must be granted, 'tis the knowing Statesman's plan]
[I never write from personal spite]
[In greater things or less]
[Herb Duty in life's common ground hath root]
[“Fool's Parsley” is rank poison; learn to know]
[If I could smile]
[If successful thou wouldst be]
[Boldly praise; and some will hear thee.]
[Money matters not at twenty]
[O world, if I had known you long ago]
[Dear Son, I say to you]
[How many things would be ridiculous]
A Wealthy Man.

[So tangled are we, take any man]
So
tangled are we, take any man,
Choose how to think of him—so you can.
You are justly precious in this one's sight;
That one despises you, and he's right.
