High Time

There are none so blind as those who will not see A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, Let the cobbler stick to his last; the nearer the church The further from God; speak the truth and shame the devil Every bullet has a billet, curses like chickens come home to roost Comparisons are odious we are light years of discretion away A little tin god enough to make angels weep Sitting on thorns telling cock and bull stories, I'll sieze the nettle and foul my own nest Straight from the shoulder the sinews of war To smite hip and thigh cut to the bone playing Merry with lotus-eaters an elephant never forgets Pull devil, pull baker man proposes but God disposes Theres nothing new under the sun Pitchers have big ears and pride goes before the fall Even a worm will turn as fine words Butter no parsnips, still waters run deep Physician, Heal thyself.
