We may see the small value God has for riches, by the people he gives them to.
Wit and judgment often are at strife.
Be thou the first true merit to befriend, his praise is lost who stays till all commend.
At every trifle take offense, that always shows great pride or little sense.
The lights and shades, whose well-accorded strife gives all the strength and color of our life.
So perish all who do the like again.
