The Proud Will Sooner Lose

Man And Wife, Coupled Together For The Sake Of Strife.

If Honor Calls, Where'er She Points The Way The Sons Of Honor Follow, And Obey.

Who Often, But Without Success, Have Prayed For Apt Alliteration's Artful Aid.

With That Malignant Envy Which Turns Pale, And Sickens, Even If A Friend Prevail.

The Surest Way To Health, Say What They Will, Is Never To Suppose We Shall Be Ill; Most Of The Ills Which We Poor Mortals Know From Doctors And Imagination Flow.
