2. Word Of Counsel -
WORD OF COUNSEL .
Others will kiss you while your mouth is red.
Beauty is brief. Of all the guests who come
While the lamp shines on flowers, and wine, and bread,
In time of famine who will spare a crumb?
Therefore, oh, next to God, I pray you keep
Yourself as your own friend, the tried, the true.
Sit your own watch — others will surely sleep.
Weep your own tears. Ask none to die with you.
Others will kiss you while your mouth is red.
