<li>Aesop tells of a man who drained.</li>
<li>His cup of avarice to the dregs;</li>
<li>Staked what he had to what he wished,</li>
<li>And lost his golden eggs.</li>
<br>
<li>Thus rashly acts the ambitious south,</li>
<li>In discontent without excuse;</li>
<li>Take warning and mind that ye </li>
<li>ARE SOUND UPON THE GOOSE.</li>
