In life there are meetings which seem Like a fate.
Good -humor is goodness and wisdom combined.
The world is a nettle; disturb it, it stings. Grasp it firmly, it stings not.
We gain justice, judgment, with years, or else years are in vain.
That's best Which God sends. 'Twas His will: it is mine.
Do not think that years leave us and find us the same!
