Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it.

Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it.
What win I, if I gain the thing I seek?
A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy.
Who buys a minute’s worth to wail a week?
Or sells eternity to get a toy?
For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy?
Or what fond beggar, but to tough the crown,
Would with the scepter straight be stricken down?
