Fortune always will confer an aura of worth, unworthily; and in this world The lucky person passes for a genius.
The power that keeps cities of men together Is noble preservation of law.
Oh, trebly blest the placid lot of those whose hearth foundations are in pure love laid, where husband's breast with tempered ardor glows, and wife, oft mother, is in heart a maid!
When two souls compose a single song, The muse fans Livid wrath before long.
Waste no tears over the griefs of yesterday.
In life, the worst disasters come from passion.
