Pnovmzss. 24-17 :8 21 22 28 33 34 24*34 Qyaiusi Qulizimzz lay,

Bc not glad when your enemy falls, Rejoice not your heart at his loss; Lest the Loma see, and it grieve His eyes, And He tum back His anger from him. Qgninsi Guirging the jab. Eurage not yourself for the bad, Do not envy the luck of the vile; For there is no future for vice; The lamp of the wicked goes out. §mwur Gut mh tbz §ing. My sou! fear the Loan, and the King; With the chaugeful associate not. For swift will their punishment rise, And who knows the injury of both? Maxim fn: the Wise. To regard station in judgment is wrong. You are right} Peoples curse, and the Nations will hate. But they will love all who oppose, And come to present them with thanks, And will put a sweet kiss on their lips, In return for their comforting words. Gu 3'nrzihmgbt. Do the work for yourself in the Held, And after that build up a house. $gniu¤t Slunhzr. Speak not what is false of your neighbour, And be not seduced by your lips, As he did it to me; I will do to the man what he did. Gb: Qnmz uf the Sluggarh.

I passed by the farm of the sluggard, By the garden of him without sense, And saw thistles were all that it grew. And nettles had covered its face, And the wall built to fence it had fallen. So I looked and I laid it to heart; I observed, and a lesson received; ‘ A little more sleep, and alittle more slumber, With a little morefolding the hands to lie down ;’ So your poverty comes,—·——an invader, And your want like a man with a shield!
