Do unto all as you'd have others do

To yourself, good Jonathan? Certainly not!

But learning never will boil the pot;—

A penny sav'd is a penny got;—

A groat per year is per day a pin;—

Let those (the lucky ones! ) laugh that win;—

Keep your shop, and your shop will keep you!

Grasps his clutch little or much?

Has his good round sum rolled into a plum?

A voice spake in thunder—“His time is not come!”
