Temper justice with mercy.
Which, if not victory, is yet revenge.
Rocks whereon greatest men have oftest wreck'd.
No date prefixed directs me in the starry rubric set.
A broad and ample road, whose dust is gold, And pavement stars,--as stars to thee appear Seen in the galaxy, that milky way Which nightly as a circling zone thou seest Powder'd with stars.
Equally inured by moderation either state to bear, prosperous or adverse.
