   for you'll never miss the water till the well's gone dry. A man in the wilderness asked (me one day) me one day How many red strawberries grew in the say I made him an answer as quick and could As many red herrings as grew in the wood.
   Beware of those who silent are And those who look the sleeper For where the water sounds the less The river runs the deeper.
   If a dog in the night should chance for to bite Be sure and take this as a warning There is nothing so sure or so speedy a cure As a hair of his tail in the morning.
