NEVER
Never tell a tale outside the school,
Carefully tend to the golden rule;
Never be caught in the tempter’s snare,
Of the rogue and the cheat always beware.
Never be biased to sect or faction,
Always be honest in every transaction;
Never in life be a dealer in lies,
And a poor humble never despise.
Never speak a word in a person’s ear,
To cause a sigh or cause a tear;
Never act the cruel deceiver’s part,
And crush forever a maiden’s heart.
Never rejoice at another one’s loss,
Remember your riches are counted but dross;
Never reject the advice of a friend,
God’s day of grace may suddenly end.
