Thou strong seducer, Opportunity!
Boldness is a mask for fear, however great.
A lively faith will bear aloft the mind, and leave the luggage of good works behind.
For mysterious things of faith, rely on the proponent, Heaven's authority.
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.
A happy genius is the gift of nature.
