Worse than wrath in excess is
Forgetfulness in joy-excess.
Negligence kills renown just as
Ceaseless want wisdom destroys.
Forgetful nature fails of fame
All schools of thinkers say the same.
The fearful find no fortress here
The forgetful find good never.
Failing foresight the guardless man
Shall rue his folly later on.
Forget none; watch with wakeful care
Miss none; the pin is sans compare.
With cautious care pursue a thing
Impossible there is nothing.
Do what die wise commend as worth
If not, for seven births no mirth.
When joy deludes, their fate recall
Whom negligence has made to fall
Easy it is a thing to get
When die mind on it is set.
