“That discipline which corrects the eagerness of worldly passions, which fortifies the heart with virtuous principles, which enlightens the mind with useful knowledge, and furnishes to it matter of enjoyment from within itself, is of more consequence to real felicity than all the provisions which we can make of the goods of fortune.”
“Beauty sat with me all the summer day, / Awaiting the sure triumph of her eye; / Nor mark'd I till we parted, how, hard by, / Love in her train stood ready for his prey.”
