511.

Spare not, nor spend too much, be this thy care,

Spare but to spend, and only spend to spare.

Who spends too much may want, and so complain;

But he spends best that spares to spend again.

Randolph.

Everything that is acknowledges the blessing of existence. Shalt not thou, by a similar acknowledgment, be happy? If thou pay due attention to sounds, thou shalt hear the praise of the Creator celebrated by the whole creation.
