The Moral

Money and jewels still, we find,

Stamp strong impressions on the mind.

But sweet discourse more potent riches yields;

Of higher value is the pow'r it wields.

Another

Civil behaviour costs indeed some pains,

Requires of complaisance some little share;

But soon or late its due reward it gains,

And meets it often when we're not aware.
