1. O London is a dainty place,
A great and gallant city!
For all the streets are paved with gold,
And all the folks are witty.
2. Oh, London is a fine town,
A very famous city,
Where all the streets are paved with gold,
And all the maidens pretty.
3. Gold is tried in the fire.
4. Gold is proved in the furnace.
5. Gold is approved in the furnace, and the friend in troubles.
6. The furnace tries gold, and gold a woman.
7. Speech is silver, silence is golden.
8. If speech is silvern, the silence is golden.
9. Speak fitly, or be silent wisely.
10.He knows much who knows how to hold his tongue.
11.Silence is not always a sign of Wisdom, but Babbling is ever a Folly.
