To the house of a friend if you're pleased to retire, You must all things admit, you must all things admire; You must pay with observance the price of your treat, You must eat what is praised, and must praise what you eat.

  • -- George Crabbe 乔治·克拉布

到朋友家去，如果你愿意退休，你必须事事承认，事事佩服;你们要谨守所当得的价银，吃那当赞美的，吃那当赞美的。
