POVERTY'S PATH

A hard lesson for youth—and one they’re not usually well warned about. ADD mate too soon MULTIPLY kids each June DIVIDE fortune today SUBTRACT tomorrow's away Divide and conquer In love and war they say, But multiplying less in love Subtracts war, adds pay. So take this advice, young friend, And wait for your youth to turn, Before offspring you must tend, Who need all that you can earn.
