Prudence

i do not think a prudent one will ever aim too high

a cockroach seldom whips a dog and seldom should he try

and should a locust take a vow to eat a pyramid

he likely would wear out his teeth before he ever did

i do not think the prudent one hastes to initiate

a sequence of events which he lacks power to terminate

for should i kick the woolworth tower so hard i laid it low it probably might injure me if it fell on my toe
