[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.

Blackberries
[By and by, we shall meet]
By
and by, we shall meet
Something truly worth our while,
Shall begin to live at last,
By and by.
By and by, days that fleet
After days, in countless file
Bring one day, like all the past,
And we die.
