Of Talk

Men talk in Business Hours and Time of Leisure
For Gain, for Use — but Most for their Own Pleasure.

How eloquent the Orator
Who says Enough — and Nothing More!

S PEAK quietly, however great the Matter;
Loud Talking makes Wise Truth seem Idle Chatter.

Y OU like to Tell it; is it clear
That Others, too, would like to Hear?

T HAT Words are like Sunbeams all Speakers should learn:
The more you Condense them the Deeper they Burn.
