HUSH!

Every thought is public,
Every nook is wide;
Thy gossips spread each whisper,
And the gods from side to side.



ORATOR

He who has no hands
Perforce must use his tongue;
Foxes are so cunning
Because they are not strong.



ARTIST

Quit the hut, frequent the palace,
Reck not what the people say;
For still, where'er the trees grow biggest,
Huntsmen find the easiest way.
