Wisdom

Oh, blessed is the lucky one
Beloved by fellow men,
                                                                                                                   God’s blessings flow on that kind soul;                                              
And happy are his kin.

May good fortune follow him     
 Who oft avoids the rut.                    

 And has the strange and blessed trait.    
 Of keeping his mouth shut.
