Proverbs in verse, or, Moral instruction conveyed in pictures for use of schools, on the plan of Hogarth moralized . Mans a machine, and wears away As other things; but past,With gentle use, we dare to say, The longer it will last. Young Wilding gallops at full speed,Now stops and falls a prancing ; Old Gafler, on his aged steed,Steals by him, far advancing. So is it seen in busy life ; Who wish the way to lead,The faster to get on their strife, So much the less they speed. 17 Hedges have Eyes and Walls Jiave Ears,. Lucinda, in her tender years,Vows to obey her Strephons call;Unheeding that her Father hears,Conceald, she thinks, behind a wall. Tims many a one deceivd has been, In what theyve done and what theyve said. Been over-heard and over-seen. And thus unguardedly betrayd. Pause then before you speak or some sly foe were standing near,Who might oer hear, or see, in fact,Wllat neitlier he should see, or hear. 18 Much Coin, Much Care.
