 Stronger by weakness, wiser men become. |
| How small a part of time they share,
That are so wondrous sweet and fair! |
| The soul's dark cottage, battered and decayed,
Lets in new light through chinks that time has made. Stronger by weakness, wiser men become, As they draw near to their eternal home. |
| The fear of hell, or aiming to be blest, savors too much of private interest. |
| Poets lose half the praise they should have got, Could it be known what they discreetly blot |
| That eagle's fate and mine are one, Which, on the shaft that made him die, Espied a feather of his own, Wherewith he wont to soar so high. |
| Poets lose half the praise they should have got, Could it be known what they discreetly blot |
| The seas are quiet when the winds give o'er; So calm are we when passions are no more! |
| Virtue's stronger guard than brass. |
| The lark that shuns on lofty boughs to build, Her humble nest, lies silent in the field. |
| Poets that lasting marble seek Must come in Latin or in Greek. |
| In other things the knowing artist may, Judge better than the people; but a play, (Made for delight, and for no other use), If you approve it not, has no excuse. |
| So all we know of what they do above, Is that they happy are, and that they love. |
| All human things Of dearest value hang on slender strings. |
