Despair of nothing that you would attain Unwearied diligence your point will gain Diligently practice what is good and then Great will be thy reward in Bliss – amen Refrain such talk, you seldom hear of any Undone by hearing, but by speaking many. Make spare in youth, least age should find thee poor When time is past and thou canst spare nor more. Remember well & bear in mind A faithful friend is hard to find.
