Wit in conversation is only a readiness of thought and a facility of expression, or a quick conception and an easy delivery.
Truth needs not flowers of speech.
A gen'rous heart repairs a sland'rous tongue.
For when success a lover's toil attends,Few ask, if fraud or force attain'd his ends
In lazy apathy let stoics boast, their virtue fixed, 'tis fixed as in a frost.
All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.
