And all may do what has by man been done.

The person of wisdom is the person of years.

Old men love novelties; the last arriv'd Still pleases best; the youngest steals their smiles.

Where boasting ends, there dignity begins.

One to destroy, is murder by the law; and gibbets keep the lifted hand in awe; to murder thousands, takes a specious name, 'War's glorious art', and gives immortal fame.

Beautiful as sweet, And young as beautiful, and soft as young, And gay as soft, and innocent as gay!
