But to the earth some special good cloth give.

Have more than thou showest,
Speak less than thou knowest,
Lend less than thou owest,
read more

Have more than thou showest,
Speak less than thou knowest,
Lend less than thou owest,
Ride more than thou goest,
Learn more than thou trowest,
Set less than thou throwest;
Leave thy drink and thy whore,
And keep in-a-door,
And thou shalt have more
Than two tens to a score.

O ye who teach the ingenuous youth of nations--
