Beware

Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832)

LOOK not thou on beauty’s charming,

Sit thou still when kings are arming,

Taste not when the wine-cup glistens,

Speak not when the people listens,

Stop thine ear against the singer,

From the red gold keep thy finger,

Vacant heart, and hand, and eye,

Easy live and quiet die.
