They say that “Time assuages” - Time never did assuage - An actual suffering strengthens As Sinews do, with age - Time is a Test of Trouble - But not a Remedy - If such it prove, it prove too There was no Malady

A Word that Breathes Distinctly Has not the Power to Die

I am out with lanterns, looking for myself.

An ear can break a human heart As quickly as a spear, We wish the ear had not a heart So dangerously near.

Truth - is as old as God-.

The truth I do not dare to know I muffle with a jest.

I lost a world the other day. Has anybody found? You'll know it by the rows of stars around it's forehead bound. A rich man might not notice it; yet to my frugal eye of more esteem than ducats. Oh! Find it, sir, for me!
