[Stout should his Heart, and thoughtful be his Head]

Stout should his Heart, and thoughtful be his Head,
That would in slippery Paths with Judgment tread,
And tempt the Dangers which on Courts attend,
A smiling En'my, and a treach'rous Friend,

As he of great Preferments waits the Call,
Certain to slip, and almost sure to fall.
