Mrs. Chas. H. Smith.

"Conversation is but serving:

Give no more to every guest,

Than he is able to digest;

Give him always of the prime And but little at a time;

Give to all but just enough,

Let them neither starve nor stuff,

And that each may have his due,

Let your neighbor carve for you."

Scott.
