It is not enough that poetry is agreeable, it should also be interesting.
Aiming at brevity, I become obscure.
Clogged with yesterday's excess, the body drags the mind down with it.
Whatever you want to teach, be brief.
The Sun, the stars and the seasons as they pass, some can gaze upon these with no strain of fear.
Not to be lost in idle admiration is the only sure means of making and preserving happiness.
