“Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportion’d thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch’d unfledg’d comrade. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in, Bear’t that th’ opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice; Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man. Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” iiamlrt: Art 1, S»r. 3. 16

acmt iii Not Write aliio ♦ ♦ “The quality of mercy is not train’d; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives, and Him that takes: ’Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better thAn his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of livings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway; It is enthroned in th|£ hearts of kings; It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then g how likest God’s When mercy seasons justice. Though justice be thy P ' lea, consider this,— That, in the cours|£ of justice, none of us Should see salvAtion: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayejjj doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much To mitigate the justice of thy plea. . . ” fflrrrljant of Ifrnirr. Art to, £ r. 1.
