From my nets have I flung the bad away, to my small skill and caution;

Yet may some slimy snake have counted for an eel.

The rudder of Man's best hope cannot always steer himself from error;

The arrow of Man's straightest aim flieth short of truth.

Thus, the confession of sincerity visit not as if it were presumption:

Nor own me for a leader, where thy reason is not guide.


OF CHEERFULNESS.
