* * * * * Every man has got a hobby, Every poet has some fault, Every sweet contains its bitter, Every fresh thing has its salt. Every mountain has a valley, Every valley has a hill, Every ravine is a river, Every river is a rill. Every fool has got some wisdom, Every wise man is a fool, Every scholar is a block-head, Every dunce has been to school. Every bad man is a good man, Every fat man is not stout, Every good man is a bad man But 'tis hard to find him out. Every strong man is a weak man, You may doubt it as you please, Every well man is a sick man, Every doctor has disease. |
