A Diamond, Though Set In Horns, Is

Though The Desire Of Fame Be The Last Weakness Wise Men Put Off.

Giants In Their Promises, But Those Obtained, Weak Pigmies In Their Performance.

The Sum Of All That Makes A Just Man Happy Consists In The Well Choosing Of His Wife: And There, Well To Discharge It, Does Require Equality Of Years, Of Birth, Of Fortune; For Beauty Being Poor, And Not Cried Up By Birth Or Wealth, Can Truly Mix With Neither. And Wealth, When There's Such Difference In Years, And Fair Descent, Must Make The Yoke Uneasy.

What Can Innocence Hope For, When Such As Sit Her Judges Are Corrupted!

True Dignity Is Never Gained By Place, And Never Lost When Honors Are Withdrawn.
