I might, by chance, write something just as shoddy; But then I wouldn't show it to everybody.
Stay awhile that we may make an end the sooner.
Anyone may be an honorable man, and yet write verse badly.
No one is safe from slander. The best way is to pay no attention to it, but live in innocence and let the world talk.
I always do the first line well, but I have trouble doing the others.
We must take the good with the bad; For the good when it's good, is so very good That the bad when it's bad can't be bad!
