Know when to speak - for many times it brings danger, to give the best advice to kings.
In prayer the lips ne'er act the winning part, Without the sweet concurrence of the heart.
In vain our labours are, whatsoe'er they be, unless God gives the Benediction.
T is the will that makes the action good or ill.
Like will to like, each creature loves his kind.
So when or you or I are made A fable, song, or fleeting shade; All love, all liking, all delight Lies drowned with us in endless night. Then while time serves, and we are but decaying; Come, my Corinna, come, let's go a Maying.
