Chapter 25 XXV THE UNBIDDEN GUEST

No human quality is so well wove

In warp and woof, but there 's some flaw in it:

I've known a brave man fly a shepherd's cur,

A wise man so demean him, drivelling idiocy

Had wellnigh been ashamed on't. For your crafty,

Your worldly wise man, he, above the rest,

Weaves his own snares so fine, he 's often caught in them.
