It is e>fier to be wife for others,

Hypocrisy is a homage which
vice pays to virtue.
Too great a concern to acquit one's

gratitude.
Virtue would not go so far, if
Vanity did not keep her company.
Rest fatisfied with doing well, and
leave others to talk of you as they

Rather avoid those vices you are
'naturally inclined to, than aim at
those excellencies * and perfections
you were never made for.
Whatever you dislike in another
person, take case to corrie in your.

Too proud to seek a hiding place.
And shake the globe from pole to pole.

She led me on with placid face,
To Jesus Christ my hiding place.
