Roused by the lash of his own stubborn tail our lion now will foreign foes assail.

Pity only on fresh objects stays, but with the tedious sight of woes decays.

Of all the tyrannies on human kind the worst is that which persecutes the mind.

These are the effects of doting age,--vain doubts and idle cares and over caution.

Humility and resignation are our prime virtues.

Courage from hearts and not from numbers grows.

For Art may err, but Nature cannot miss.
