ALAS! Alas! WHat have I done?
Oh! Woe is me this day:
My Pitcher's broke!-all from this fun,-
This sily, romping play.
Oh! sad! what will my Mother fay?
Her words have come too true!
Whatever shall I do?
And yet full many a time and oft,
In this same Pitcher too,
I've water drawn both hard and soft,
Nor had mishap to rue:
Pumpt water in ano thrown it out,
And pumpt it full again,
Nor e'en so much as chipp'd the spout,
For Mother to complain.
Alas! that I could ever be
So heedless of her say-
The warning she would give to me,
And, alsmost ev'ry day!
But here about young fellows are
So rollicking and free;
Pull girls about so much, nor care;
And most of all p'rhaps me.
That Hans there of our Village, he's
So rough and wild alway;
If I won't speak, he'll sulk, or tease
Whene'er I pass his way.
And I'm good natur'd too I know,
And where is then the blame,
I love a laugh sometimes, and who
At heart but does the same?
And I and other girls when we
Perchance together meet,
Some lads are always sure to be
At games about the street;
And so it was just now, althought
I did all I could do,
For Water first my way to go,
When Hans he joined us too.
Then there began a game all round
Of running-jibe and joke,
When down we came upon the ground,
And I my pitcher broke!
I've many times heard spoken,
''The Pot that goed to oft unto
The Well, at last gets broken.''
TANT va la cruche à l'eau, que le manche y demeure.
DER Krug gienge so lang zur buch
Bis er zu lest zerbruch.
DER Krug gehet so lang zum brunnen, bis das er bricht.
TANTES va la secchia al pozzo, che vi lascia il manico.
CONSUMITUR peccando saepiùs pudor.
TANTO va la capra al cavolo, che vi lascia la pelle.
HET geytjen loopt soo dickwils in de koolen, tot het eens de vacht laet.
DE mug die om de keerse sweeft,
't Is wonder soo die lange leeft.
WIE veel wil mallen,
Moet eenmael vallen.
Kakoïs [GREEEEEEEK].
Is est,
MALOS frequentans ipse et evades malus.
UNE folie est tost faite.
LET! vrysters! wie ontruet u gaen
Een malle greep is haest gedaen.
BE cautious, maidens, how ye run;
A foolish thing is speedy done.
Avoid too much Familiarity.
IT is unwise both to use and to permit too great Familiarity. Who become
familiar, soon lose the superiority which their previous reserve gave to them; and,
consequently, their credit. We should be familiar with none-never with our superiors,
because it is dangerous; nor with our inferiors, because it is derogatory; and still
less with the vulgar, whose ignorace renders them insolent, and, unable to perceive
the honour that is done them, they presume that if it is their due. Familiarity is one
of the tendencies of a weak mind. -GRACIAN.
THE purest treasure mortal times afford
Is-spotless reputatuon; that away,
Men are but gilded loam, or painted clay. -SHAKESPEARE, Rich. III.
AND loth'st thou me, my Soule, loving to goe
Elsewhere, I pray thee whither, let me know,
Was thou not all this while my deerest mate,
My guest, my convoy, consort in estate;
While I did florish, thou didst constant prove,
My times are darkned now, so is thy love?
SOULE. Here as a captive to a keeper, so
I tyed was with thee, at list, to goe,
Banisht from home: loe now my bonds are loose,
Thou dy'st, I glad runne to my fathers house.
Soules bond with body hardly maketh breach,
Yet this doth dye, and that Heav'ns dwelling reach.

THE POT GOETH SO LONG TO THE WATER, TIL AT LAST IT COMMETH BROKEN HOME
