Earth; keep silence
like thy spine! See none About thee! Thus the silk of wisdom's
spun.
Plant firm thy feet; repose be now thy law.
Thy legs - `twere ill to advance them or withdraw.
If loins move, the heart's liable to riot.
Keep still thy body's fidgets,
Johnny raw,
And for the love of heaven hold thy jaw!
Fortune attends who persevere in quiet.
