'T IS Cheap to build a Castle in the Air,
But Costly keeping up a Dwelling there.

A Hobby is a more expensive Steed
Than any Horse of true Arabian breed.

H E lived too far beyond his Means
Who Burned the Stalks to Cook the Beans.

B UY not what you Need Not, Inch nor Ell,
Lest what you Need you may be forced to Sell.

I N buying Land or selling Water-cresses,
The Dunce who Measures beats the Sage who Guesses.
