Prayer ardent opens heaven.
Midway from Nothing to the Deity!
Titles are marks of honest men, and wise; The fool or knave that wears a title lies.
Be wise today; 'tis madness to defer. Next day the fatal precedent will plead; thus on, til wisdom is pushed our of life.
Who gives an empire, by the gift defeats All end of giving; and procures contempt Instead of gratitude.
We push time from us, and we wish him back; * * * * * * Life we think long and short; death seek and shun.
