Go Out

(A Father's Advice to his Sons)

knight with shield You must go out amongst them.
Only in the world of men may you find
Answers to questions you ask yourself.

Look each one in the eye, without malice.
Deal honestly with all, yet be slow to trust.
Despise no man; you know not who has a vital clue.
Impose not your will, nor allow others subject you.

Many will come to you as you to them.
These call friends, enjoy their company.
Some come at night to harm your kin or you.
Then your arm be strong, your aim be true.

Roman sword

William's Whimsical Words:

'Tis a dangerous world, but the only one around.
