Where lives the man that has not tried,
How mirth can into folly glide,
And folly into read more

Where lives the man that has not tried,
How mirth can into folly glide,
And folly into sin!

Tender-handed stroke a nettle,
And it stings you for your pains;
Grasp it like a man of read more

Tender-handed stroke a nettle,
And it stings you for your pains;
Grasp it like a man of mettle,
And it soft as silk remains.
'Tis the same with common natures,
Use 'em kindly, they rebel;
But, be rough as nutmeg-graters,
And the rogues obey you well.
