THE JOYFUL WISDOM
4.
Dialogue.
Dialogue.
A. Was I ill? and is it ended?
Pray, by what physician tended?
I recall no pain endured!
B. Now I know your trouble's ended:
He that can forget, is cured.
5.
To the Virtuous.
To the Virtuous.
Let our virtues be easy and nimble-footed in motion,
Like unto Homer's verse ought they to come and to go.
6.
Worldly Wisdom.
Worldly Wisdom.
Stay not on level plain,
Climb not the mount too high,
But half-way up remain—
The world you'll best descry!
7.
Vademecum—Vadetecum.
Vademecum—Vadetecum.
Attracted by my style and talk
You'd follow, in my footsteps walk?
Follow yourself unswervingly,
So—careful!—shall you follow me.
