Go far--too far you cannot, still the farther
The more experience finds you: And go sparing;--
One meal a week will serve you, and one suit,
Through all your travels; for you'll find it certain,

Fortune, now see, now proudly
Pluck off thy veil, and view thy triumph; look,

Fortune, now see, now proudly
Pluck off thy veil, and view thy triumph; look,
Look what thou hast brought this land to!--
And he that will to bed go sober,
Falls with the leaf still in October.

Falls with the leaf still in October.
