(\'Oft in danger, oft in woe\')
Proverbs 27 v,1-6
********
Boast not self of tomorrow
What it shall bring, you not know
Let another praise you, so
Selfish arrogance not show
A stone is heavy, and sand
It be weighty in one\'s hand
But a fool\'s wrath heavier
It be than both, it is sure
Wrath is cruel, and anger is
Outrageous, as torrent, this
Be true, but who able to
Stand before envy, can you?
Open rebuke better than
Secret love shown between men* (*mankind)
Faithful the words of a friend
They who support to the end
