Of great capacity,

Like Sir Isaac Newton,

Or Locke, or Doctor South,

Or Sherlock upon Death -

I'd rather be Sutton!

For he did build a house

For aged men and youth,

With walls of brick and stone;

He furnish'd it within

With whatever he could win,

And all his own.

He drew out of the Stocks

His money in a box,

And sent his servant

To Green the Bricklayer,

And to the Carpenter;

He was so fervent.

The chimneys were threescore,

The windows many more;

And, for convenience,

He sinks and gutters made,

And all the way he pav'd

To hinder pestilence.

Was not this a good man -

Whose life was but a span,

Whose name was Sutton -

As Locke, or Doctor South,

Or Sherlock upon Death,

Or Sir Isaac Newton?

Discutir con un tonto nunca hay que olvidar que las piezas que juega mejor que tú.


Споря  с  глупцом  никогда  не  забывай ,  что  в  шашки  он  играет  лучше  тебя.


Все же хорошо что я живу на *соседней  улице*.
