    With rapid change from rock to roses;
    It slipped from politics to puns;
    It passed from Mahomet to Moses;
    Beginning with the laws that keep
    The planets in the radiant courses,
    And ending with some precept deep
    For dressing eels or shoeing horses.

To spin your wordy fabric in the street;
While you read more

Stop not, unthinking, every friend you meet
To spin your wordy fabric in the street;
While you are emptying your colloquial pack,
The fiend Lumbago jumps upon his back.

Who think too little, and who talk too much.

Who think too little, and who talk too much.
