Lived in his saddle, loved the chase, the course, And always, ere he mounted, kiss'd his horse.

The darkest day, if you live till tomorrow, will have passed away.
Events of all sorts creep or fly exactly as God pleases.
Remorse, the fatal egg that pleasure laid.
... she, that will with kittens jest, Should bear a kitten's joke.
