[8]

Who brooks no Warning, hates his Soul,
true Old Age worſhip right,
A patient Man far better is,
than one endu’d with Might.
Mens Credit comes by doing Good.
an humble Mind indeed,
Is better than a Lyar proud,
from whence vain brags proceed.

By this dear Children, you may learn
hew to direct your Ways,
To GOD, your Prince, and Country too
wherein your Welfare ſlays.
Print well in your Remembrance,
the Leſſons I have ſhown,
Then ſhall you live in happy ſtate,
when I am dead and gone.
