    'Tis a very good world we live in
    To spend, and to lend, and to give in;
    But to beg, or to borrow, or ask for our own;
    'Tis the very worst world that ever was known.

Wandering between two worlds, one dead,
The other powerless to be born
With nowhere yet to rest my head,
Like these, on earth I wait forlorn.

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man
could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and
tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed
with white robes, and palms in their hands;
And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which
sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Be content read more

Fly away, pretty moth, to the shade
Of the leaf where you slumbered all day;
Be content with the moon and the stars, pretty moth,
And make use of your wings while you may.

They at last found it dangerous play;
Many things in this world that look bright, pretty moth,
Only dazzle to lead us astray.
