Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment.

Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,

But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy;

For the apparel oft proclaims the MAN.

Neither a borrower nor a LENDER be;

For loan oft loses both itself and friend,

And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

This, above all: to thine own self be TRUE;

And it must follow, as the night the day,
