Chaste to her husband, frank to all beside, A teeming mistress, but a barren bride.
Jarring interests of themselves create the according music of a well-mixed state.
There is nothing that is meritorious but virtue and friendship.
A good-natured man has the whole world to be happy out of.
But blind to former as to future fate, what mortal knows his pre-existent state?
One self-approving hour whole years outweighs.
