The whole speech: (paraphrased)
Mark it, nuncle. (Pay attention, uncle)
Have more than thou showest, (Own more than you seem to)
Speak less than thou knowest, (Say less than you know)
Lend less than thou owest,
Ride more than thou goest,
Learn more than thou trowest, (learn more than you teach)
Set less than thou throwest, (keep more than you discard)
Leave thy drink and thy whore (quit the booze and the slut)
And keep in-a-door, (and stay home instead)
And thou shalt have more (save your money)
Than two tens to a score
Hope that helps.
