Only Provident

Blot out the whole emerging gesture

To demonstrate leading astray thy pace;

Don't rebound to toil and wrestle,

Be temperate tilt not at any rate!

 

Outrun ne'er surpass in celebrity quartan,

Submission ties settle better productive gain;

Prepare to ignite flame of fixed canon

Must evade excruciate feeble in vain;

 

Riches give delight yet defend not,

Slaking thirst aqua less attract rabies;

Pride of sagacity weak riot crazy spot,

Mere contentment if alive relay miseries;

 

Deny not troth behave alike recuperation

Spurt what ambition turn amative thee;

Man! thou hold energy to alter cultivation

Please the almighty by culminating blemish free;

 

Only provident would give certain dexterity

With vigour, venture, assume design marvelous;

Where its sacred light confirm privity:

Personality seems observing rare not fabulous.
