An Honest Tale Speeds Best Being Plainly

O Gentlemen, The Time Of Life Is Short! To Spend That Shortness Basely Were Too Long, If Life Did Ride Upon A Dial's Point, Still Ending At The Arrival Of An Hour.

Too Early Seen Unknown, And Known Too Late!

Now Join Your Hands, And With Your Hands Your Hearts.

For Oaths Are Straws, Men's Faiths Are Wafer-cakes, And Hold-fast Is The Only Dog.

The Golden Age Is Before Us, Not Behind Us.
