1. No one blessed by God should alter what He made,
Like his face—all ugliness in it abbreviated.

2. One only shaves his head a single time, and that
Suffices him, returning never for life's duration.

3. For a hand's gentle touch is far smoother than
A scrape—after a scrape, hair grows back again.

4. So if one's mind intends to shave what's in his head
He's apt by his own brains to find himself misled.
