ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN, by                    
First Line: Adapt thyself to time and circumstance
Last Line: But if an ass thou meetest simply bray.
Alternate Author Name(s): Palquera, Ben Joseph
Subject(s): Jews; Men; Judaism


ADAPT thyself to time and circumstance
So wilt thou be untroubled every way.
Amongst the wise make wise thy countenance
And with the fool the role of dullard play;
Roar, if upon a lion thou shouldst chance;
But if an ass thou meetest simply bray.
