Than waiting like a dunce,
To go to work in earnest,
And learn the thing at once?

* * * * *

Speak the truth, and speak it ever,
Cost it what it will;
He who hides the wrong he did,
Does the wrong thing still.

* * * * *

To do to others as I would
That they should do to me,
Will make me honest, kind, and good,
As children ought to be.

* * * * *

When mother says, "Do this," or "that,"
Don't say, "What for?" and "Why?"
But let her hear your gentle voice
Say, "Mother dear, I'll try."
