Suspicious, timid, he is much afraid
Of trick and plot—he dreads to be betray'd;
He shuns all friendship, for he finds they lend,
When lads begin to call each other friend.
Yet self with self has war; the tempting sight
Of fruit on sale provokes his appetite;—

See! how, he walks the sweet seduction by;
}
That he is tempted, costs him first a sigh—
