THE PHILOSOPHER by ANONYMOUS

First Line: AS I WALKED BY MYSELF / AND TALKED TO MYSELF
Last Line: THE SELF-SAME THING WILL BE
As I walked by myself
And talked to myself,
Myself said unto me,
Look to thyself,
Take care of thyself,
For nobody cares for thee.

I answered myself,
And said to myself
In the self-same repartee,
Look to thyself,
Or not to thyself,
The self-same thing will be.
