If a man's innate self-respect will not save him from habitual, disgusting intoxication, all the female influences in the universe would not avail. Man's will, like woman's, is stronger than the affection, and, once subjugated by vice, all eternal influences will be futile.

Oh! what a luxury it is to weep, / And find in tears a sad relief!

If a man's innate self-respect will not save him from habitual, disgusting intoxication, all the female influences in the universe would not avail. Man's will, like woman's, is stronger than the affection, and, once subjugated by vice, all eternal influences will be futile.

All things are dark to sorrow.

Oh, Duty is an icy shadow!

Oh! Duty is an icy shadow. It will freeze you. It cannot fill the heart's sanctuary.

Memory is earth's retribution for man's sins.
