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.
In an active life is sown the seed of wisdom; but he who reflects not, never reaps; has no harvest from it, but carries the burden of age without the wages of experience; nor knows himself old, but from his infirmities, the parish register, and the contempt of mankind. And age, if it has not esteem, has nothing.
Of man's miraculous mistakes, this bears The palm, "That all men are about to live."
Unlearned men of books assume the care, As eunuchs are the guardians of the fair.
The booby father craves a booby son, And by Heaven's blessing thinks himself undone.
'T is impious in a good man to be sad.
Affliction is the good man's shining scene; prosperity conceals his brightest ray; as night to stars, woe lustre gives to man.
Man makes a death which Nature never made. And feels a thousand deaths in fearing one.
Early, bright, transient, chaste as morning dew, She sparkled, was exhaled, and went to heaven.
Prayer ardent opens heaven.
It calls Devotion! genuine growth of night! Devotion! Daughter of Astronomy! An undevout astronomer is mad!
There buds the promise of celestial worth.
