Proverbs in verse, or, Moral instruction conveyed in pictures for use of schools, on the plan of Hogarth moralized . gratified much beyond measure. By the death of her husband, a woman is leftHer blind sire and child to maintain ; By every means but her labour finds these she cannot sustain. 20 The times intro<^^cd, wlien theyre craving for bread, When their wants she cannot relieve,A kind-hearted youth, by hiunauity led; Steps in and is ready to give. The joy which this act to the family gives ]^y words cannot well be expressd ;A Friend whom our wants at the moment relieves, Past doubt of all friends is the best. A pleasure the sons of humanity feel Unknown to th* insensate of woe ;That gratitude which the receivers reveal, Compensates what givers forego. No man is so poor, but has something to spard At times, Mhat another may want,And then tis his duty that something to share, Without aught reluctance to grant. A Cup of cold water in charity givn. We re taught is accounted a Gift;Entails on the giver a blessing from heavn, In th Eye of his Maker, a lift. 21 Much 31eat, Much Heres Alderman Greedy,By fever and gout; On crutches already^.To move him about. Good eating and djinkingMay cheer for an hour,But will, past all thinking,.Our happiness sour. To eat till we Ve fullDispirits the mind. It renders us dull And fills us with wind. 23 Hi«fli living is neverA pleasant repast, l^is dangerous ever;It kills as at last. Noise, Revel or RiotArc causes of strife; Ent put and Quiet,Are cundbrts of Htie. ^^ .^^^
