Читать книгу The Humorous Poetry of the English Language; from Chaucer to Saxe - Various - Страница 73

Beware of too sublime a sense

Of your own worth and consequence.

The man who dreams himself so great,

And his importance of such weight,

That all around in all that's done

Must move and act for him alone,

Will learn in school of tribulation

The folly of his expectation.
