1. He who overrates himself, deems grand
Pride enters him for which he is too small

2. And he whose ambition soars too high
No scheme his heart can entertain at all

3. Man's authority is heady wine; so long
As he retains it, drunk with it remains

4. Vex not thyself at those who love this world
No man can patience have for worldly gains

5. Leave them to time and all the chance it brings
Till thou behold what works the hand of fate
