he plans of men of shrewdest wit
To fail are known,
Whilst beardless lads the mark will hit
By chance alone.

Well was it said, long years ago,
Never trust him whom you've given a blow;
Trust not the heart you have caused to ache,
For thine, if it can, it will surely break.
Fling not a stone at the wall of a town,
Lest one from the rampart should strike you down.

8

Who roams the world by many wants beset,
Is quickly glad his own name to forget;
Unless you've gold you cannot do much harm,
And if you've gold you need no other arm.
Gold if you lack you cannot cross the brine;
Better than ten men's strength is one man's coin.

ON A YOUNG MAN WITH RED HAIR

He is a lad of sober mind,
By no means martially inclined;
Nor fit to bear war's dreadful shocks,
Although he carries fire-locks.
