Classic and Contemporary Poetry

KNOWLEDGE by FRANCIS S. COOK

First Line: MEN FORM ALL THEIR BEST DESIGNS
Last Line: KNOW THE THINGS TO SAY.
Subject(s): SECRETS;
Men form all their best designs
To play a public part;
Women keep their purposes
Neighbor to the heart.

Thus when power and enterprise
Crash in public day,
Women in the secret night
Know the things to say.
