19 Track not the steps of such as hold you cheap, — Too mean to prize, though good enough to keep.
The " real, genuine, no-mistake Tom Thumbs " Are little people fed on great men's crumbs.
Yet keep no followers of that hateful brood That basely mingles with its wholesome food The tumid reptile, which, the poet said.
Doth wear a precious jewel in his head.
If the wild filly, " Progress," thou would'st ride.
Have young companions ever at thy side ; But, would'st thou stride the staunch old mare,
..." Success," Go with thine elders, though they please thee less.
Shun such as lounge through afternoons and eves.
And on thy dial write " Beware of thieves ! " Felon of minutes, never taught to feel The worth of treasures which thy fingers steal.
Pick my left pocket of its silver dime.
But spare the right, — it holds my golden time !
Does praise delight thee ? Choose some vitra side ; A sure old recipe, and often tried ; Be its apostle, congressman, or bard, Spokesman, or jokesman, only drive it hard ; But know the forfeit which thy choice abides.
