[Amidst a lengthy discourse on child rearing:]
  `Tis not enough your counsel still be true;
  Blunt truths more mischief than nice falsehoods do;
  Men must be taught as if you taught them not;
  And things unknown, propos'd as things forgot.
  Without good breeding, truth is not approv'd;
  That only makes superior sense belov'd.
