KNOWLEDGE, by                    
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.
