Take God from nature, nothing great is left.
We see time's furrows on another's brow, And death intrench'd, preparing his assault; How few themselves in that just mirror see!
Night, sable goddess! from her ebon throne, In rayless majesty, now stretches forth Her leaden sceptre o'er a slumbering world.
The bell strikes one. We take no note of time But from its loss.
And friend received with thumps upon the back.
What ardently we wish, we soon believe.
Friendship's the wine of life: but friendship new... is neither strong nor pure.
On every thorn, delightful wisdom grows, In every rill a sweet instruction flows.
The man that makes a character, makes foes.
Wishing of all employments is the worst
Revere thyself, and yet thyself despise
Insatiate archer! could not one suffice? Thy shaft flew thrice, and thrice my peace was slain; And thrice, ere thrice yon moon had filled her horn.
Who knows if Shakespeare might not have thought less if he had read more?
Where Nature's end of language is declin'd, And men talk only to conceal the mind.
