ADVICE.
The worst men often give the best advice.
Our deeds are sometimes better than our thoughts,
Festus: Sc. A Village Feast. P.J. BAILEY.
I pray thee cease thy counsel.
Which falls into mine ears as profitless
As water in a sieve.
Much Ado About Nothing, Act v. Sc. 1. SHAKESPEARE.
O Life! how pleasant in thy morning.
Young Fancy's rays the hills adorning!
Cold-pausing Caution's lesson scorning,
We frisk away,
Like schoolboys at th' expected warning,
To joy and play.
Epistle to James Smith. B. BURNS.
Know when to speake; for many times it brings
Danger to give the best advice to kings.
Hesperides' Caution in Councell. R. HEBRICK.
