cutting flames names
No white nor red was ever seen So am'rous as this lovely green. Fond lovers, cruel as their flame, Cut in these trees their mistress' name. Little, alas, they know or heed How far these beauties hers exceed! Fair trees! where s'e'er your barks I wound, No name shall but your own be found.
art life-is-short long
Art indeed is long, but life is short.
time love-you thinking
Had we but world enough, and time, This coyness Lady were no crime. We would sit down, and think which way To walk, and pass our long love's day. Thou by the Indian Ganges'side Shouldst rubies find: I by the tide Of Humber would complain. I would Love you ten years before the flood.
gay glasses mind
My mind was once the true survey Of all these meadows fresh and gay; And in the greenness of the grass Did see its hopes as in a glass.
time lying desert
And yonder all before us lie Deserts of vast eternity.
thinking embrace fine
The grave's a fine and private place, But none, I think, do there embrace.
garden rose lilies
I have a garden of my own, But so with roses overgrown, And lilies, that you would it guess To be a little wilderness.

How vainly men themselves amaze To win the palm, the oak, or bays; And their uncessant labours see Crown'd from some single herb or tree. Whose short and narrow verged shade Does prudently their toils upbraid; While all flow'rs and all trees do close To weave the garlands of repose.
men self law
Self-preservation, nature's first great law, all the creatures, except man, doth awe.
rubies world crime
Had we but world enough, and time, this coyness, lady, were no crime.
witty time humorous
But at my back I always hear Time's winged chariot hurrying near.
party thinking government
The unfortunate and inescapable historical truth is that those in government - from both parties and with a few courageous exceptions - do not feel constrained by the Constitution. They think they can do whatever they want.
mean government america
The other General Welfare Clause is in the first of the authorities given to the Congress and it's not a grant, it's a restriction. By which I mean it doesn't say Congress can legislate for the general welfare, it means that everything Congress must do has to enhance the general welfare of the United States of America. It can't grant things to individuals, it can only legislate for the government.
