He mouths a sentence as curs mouth a bone.
He hurts me most who lavishly commends.
Man and wife, Coupled together for the sake of strife.
Quick-circulating slanders mirth afford; and reputation bleeds in every word.
Who to patch up his fame, or fill his purse, Still pilfers wretched plans, and makes them worse; Like gypsies, lest the stolen brat be known, Defacing first, then claiming for his own.
With curious art the brain, too finely wrought, Preys on herself, and is destroyed by thought.
