The tall, the wise, the reverend head, Must lie as low as ours.
I'll not willingly offend, Nor be easily offended; What's amiss I'll strive to mend, And endure what can't be mended.
Whatever brawls disturb the street, There should be peace at home.
For Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do.
And he that does one fault at first, And lies to hide it, makes it two.
