Part 8

SIR HENRY WOTTON.

36. No change comes o'er thy noble brow, Though ruin is around thee; Thine eye-beam burns as proudly now As when the laurel crown'd thee.

MRS. CHILD.

37. Some have too much, yet still they crave; You little have, yet seek no more; They are but poor, though much they have, And you are rich with little store. They poor, you rich; they beg, you give; They lack, you lend; they pine, you live.

LORD VAUX.

38. With every shifting gale your course you ply, Forever sunk too low or borne too high.

POPE.

39. You will not bow unto the common things Men make their idols. You will stand apart From common men; your sensual appetite Shall be subservient to your loftier soul.

MARY HOWITT.

40. Sloth, the nurse of vices, And rust of action, is a stranger to you.

MASSINGER.

41. The worth of the three kingdoms I defy To lower you to the standard of a lie.

COWPER.

42. I have some comfort in this fellow; He hath no drowning mark upon him; his complexion Is perfect gallows.

Tempest.

43. You lacke no witte, You speke whatte bee the trouthe, And whatte all see is ryghte.

ROWLEY--(Chatterton.)

44. A man resolved and steady to his trust, Inflexible to ill, and obstinately just.

DR. WATTS.

45. I know thy generous temper well; Fling but the appearance of dishonor on it, It straight takes fire, and mounts into a blaze.

ADDISON--Cato.

46. Just like a snail through life's dull path you creep, Your whole existence but a waking sleep.

R. M. CHARLTON.

47. Your nature is, That you incline to hope rather than fear, And gladly banish squint suspicion.

MILTON--Comus.

48. A right tender heart, Melting and easy, yielding to impression, And catching the soft flame from each new beauty.

ROWE--Jane Shore.

49. The ruby lip, the sparkling eye, All unavailing prove; Wandering from fair to fair you fly, But will not learn to love.
