Old men love novelties; the last arriv'd Still pleases best; the youngest steals their smiles.
Tomorrow is a satire on today, And shows its weakness.
A dearth of words a woman need not fear; But 'tis a task indeed to learn to hear: In that the skill of conversation lies; That shows and makes you both polite and wise.
Man wants little, nor that little long.
Friendship's the wine of life.
Beautiful as sweet, And young as beautiful, and soft as young, And gay as soft, and innocent as gay!
