Fergus spake these words and he said,

This shall be my creed, whereby shall I

live my life as it were a shining example of

Virtue and excellence, well worthy to be

enshrined in Heaven as a model for all

who are wise to follow. My creed shall

into three parts, like Gaul, be divided.

Firstly, I shall constrain myself to Mind

My Own Business. Secondly, I shall

endeavor at all times and in all places

to Keep My Nose Clean by the most

expedient means. Thirdly, and finally, I

shall always exercise the utmost care

to Keep My Hands to Myself.
