Unawed by shame or fear,
Till a new object struck my sight,
And stopp’d my wild career:

OBJECT LESSON: YOUR REPUTATION
(Light a candle on stage.) It’s easy to keep a fire going. What do you do to it? Not much. You work to get it started, and then it pretty much burns on its own. You may have to protect it, maybe do a little maintenance on it. But the fire is automatic. But if
