Naturally Dammed

Anger not the blackest weir, else it shall
Pour fourth more than a tear from it's great fall;
For falls do fall upon fallen water,
But weir's do not fall until broken; were
You wise you should heed my advice, and be
Not a foolish cad that prods bulls to see
Whether they shall charge you or whether they
Will abjure his anger; a play that flays
Most alive: dares that do go wrong from first.
Then go to the weir when you are a thirst,
Not with a foul temper or curse to tame
That which is already tame. For nature
May with rocks rope off what you would in same
Fashion prop up, paltry devices unsure.
