Wise Man

Listen in the reader

You are afraid to tell me what you think Because I am hot and angry when I am crossed. I do not blame you for it; but have no fear, For if there's one that sat on smiling there, As though my arguments were sweet as milk Yet found them bitter, I will thank him for it, If he but speak his mind.
