A Wolf eats sheep but now and then; Ten thousands are devour'd by men. An open foe may prove a curse, but a pretend friend is worse.
Learning by study must be won; 'Twas ne'er entail'd from son to son.
By outward show let's not be cheated; An ass should like an ass be treated.
The fly that sips treacle is lost in the sweets.
If the heart of a man is depressed with cares, The mist is dispelled when a woman appears.
Variety's the source of joy below, From whence still fresh-revolving pleasures flow, In books and love the mind one end pursues, And only change the expiring flames renews.
