I have found out a gift for my fair;
I have found where the wood-pigeons breed.

To thee, fair Freedom! I retire
From flattery, cards, and dice, and din:
Nor art thou found in mansions higher
Than the low cot, or humble inn.

So sweetly she bade me adieu, I thought that she bade me return

Thy verses are eternal, O my friend, For he who reads them, reads them to no end

A man has generally the good or ill qualities, which he attributes to mankind

Virtues, like essences, lose their fragrance when exposed.

Hope is a flatterer, but the most upright of all parasites; for she frequents the poor man's hut, as well as the palace of his superior.
