--_Rochester_
And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool;
--_Armstrong_
Live well--how long or short permit to heaven,
--_Milton_
They who forgive most shall be most forgiven.
--_Bailey_
Sin may be clasped so close we can not see its face;
--_French_
Vile intercourse where virtue has no place.
--_Somerville_

--_Thompson_
Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear:
--_Byron_
Her sensual snares let faithless pleasures lay,
--_Smollett_
With craft and skill to ruin and betray.
--_Crabbe_
Soar not too high to fall, but stoop to rise;
--_Massinger_
We masters grow of all that we despise.
--_Crowley_
Oh, then, renounce that impious self-esteem.
--_Beattie_
Riches have wings, and grandeur is a dream.
--_Cowper_
