sudden breath of indiscretion, or the strong
blast of envy, may cast thee down; so shall
tiny fall be that of the falling meteor; thou
shall be despised in the dust, and gazed at
on high no more.
Wouldst thou preserve this jewel of high
price, let not the boaster, nor the professed
betrayer, come near thine house.
Encourage not train of admirers least
their envy and jealousy of each other cast
an odium on thy conduct.
As the way of a man on the ridge OF a
house, is the fame of woman among a
crowd of fools, but tine coquettc is light OF
hcar,, aud danceth along, no wonder, there
| fore, She falleth.


Yet affect not to despise temptation; the
prude loscth her good name by the means
She tdketh to prevent it.


! Keep the appearance ot evil at distance;
for the show of "a crime may be as fatal tc
thy reputation as the reality OF a transgres-
sion.
