EH! Master, what is all this work, This hamm'ring, sawing, clatter? Each morning that I wake of late I wonder what's the matter! What is't that you are building here? A Mill, forsooth! but surely So large a Mill as this will be A loss of money purely; For in this sack of yours I feel So little corn for grinding, That when you've made it into meal 'Twil scare be worth your minding. A Hand-mill would be large enough To grind this corn, good neighbour! And if you'd be advised by me You'd cease your useless labour. You may rely, this Mill of yours Will yield you little profit, 'Twill soon stand still, or, what is worse, You'll be obliged to let it: Don't spend your money thus, my friend, 'Tis hard enough to find it; Who only hath a peck of corn Need build no Mill to grind it.

TRUDITUR dies die, Novaeque pergunt interire lunae. Tu secanda marmora Locas sub ipsum funus, et sepulcri Immemor struis domos.-HORAT. ii. Od. 18. Senes, inquit Arnsaeus, spolia opima marinae Deae suspendere debent, cum hae inscriptione, -(DE Jur, Connub.) VIXI puellis nuper idoneus, Et militavi non sine gloriâ, Nunc arma defunctumque bello Hunc gladium paries habebit. HORAT. iii. Od. 26. -DESINE dulcium Mater saeva Cupidinum. -Idem iv. Od. I. CIRCA lustra decem flectere mollibus Jam durum imperiis: abi Quò blandae juvenum te revocant preces. EEN oudt man met een jonge vrou, Wat kan het westen als berou? C'est chose aussi follastre de voir le gendarme qui va au baston, que l'amoureux qui ne peut marcher sans aide. VEEL geschreeus en luttel wolle. Veel vlagen luttel boter. LA più guasta rota del carro Fa sempre maggior strepito. Viel geschrey, wenig wollen. Grosse word und nichts da hinder.

Ne'er put the Plough afore the Owsen. IN every undertaking, that which is Essential should have the first place; and the Accessory, if there is occasion for it, should be considered afterwards, Many men commence with that which is of least moment to them, and defer the consideration of those things which would be useful and profitable, to a period when it is too late to reap the advantages which would accrue from them. We thus frequently see men who have no sooner begun to prosper in life, than they become eclipsed as it were in their very success, and emerge in poverty. Method is a necessary to the art to Live, as to the aquirement of Knowledge.

SELON le pain il faut le couteau. Selon ta bourse gouverne ta bouche. Fou est qui plus dépense qua sa rente ne vaut. STRETCH out your legs according to the length of your blanket. Qui trop embrasse, mal étreint. CHI tutto abraccia, nulla stringa. CE qui vient au son de la flûte s'en va au son du tambour. MAKE no more haste than good speed. CAVENDUM est, ne in festinationibus suspiciamus nimias celeritates. -CICERO. Qui unumquodque mature transegit, is properat; qui multa simul incipit neque perficit, festinat. -CATO.

TITANS day burning lamp is set on high, The more to Light'n the Earth from saphir sky; His beames more glorious and conspicuous shine From East to West, from South to midnight line: My light you must not under bushell put, Nor in a chinky corners prison shut; That lights may cleare the chambers all throughout, They must aloft be hanged round about. You holy Priests, to whom the word of light Is trust, advance your torches in the sight Of mortals, shew them wo in darkenesse dwell, The narrow way that leads to Heaven, from Hell. FARLIE'S Emblems.
