Solomon's proverb

Solomon's Proverbs, English and Latin, alphabetically collected for help of memory.

Let her learn the Psalter first, and find her recreation in its songs; let her learn from Solomon's Proverbs the way of life, from Ecclesiastes how to trample on the world.

Thirty years after its publication, the Spectator wrote that the tale was - like Solomon's proverbs - "in everyone's mouth" and the tale was one of those "happy arrows that hit the bull's eye."
