6. The curses of the poor shall never hurt thee. Though the causeless curse shall never come; yet it is happy for a man so to live, that all may bless him. Now the Plain man shall have this at last. Gallant prodigality, like fire in flax, makes a great blaze, a hot show: but Plain hospitality, like fire in solid wood, holds out to warm the poor: because God blesseth it. So I have seen hot-spurs in the way gallop amain; but the Ivy-bushes have so stayed them, that the Plain traveller comes first to his journeys end.
