He who trusts secrets to a servant makes him his master
For Art may err, but Nature cannot miss.
All delays are dangerous in war.
The love of liberty with life is given, And life itself the inferior gift of Heaven.
For all have not the gift of martyrdom.
Our vows are heard betimes! and Heaven takes care To grant, before we can conclude the prayer: Preventing angels met it half the way, And sent us back to praise, who came to pray.
