Passage
She lives in a garret
Up a haunted stair,
And even when she՚s frightened
there՚s nobody to care.
She cooks so small a dinner
She dines on the smell,
And even if she՚s hungry
there՚s nobody to tell.
She sweeps her musty lodging
As the dawn steals near,
And even when she՚s crying
there՚s nobody to hear.
I haven՚t seen my neighbour
Since a long time ago,
And even if she՚s dead
there՚s nobody to know.
– Frances Park

Passage
These few precepts in thy memory
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought this act;
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel,
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
One each new hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice,
Take each man՚s censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy; rich not gaudy;
For the appeal often proclaims the man.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
– William Shakespeare
