And, Dying, Bless The Hand That Gave

These Are The Effects Of Doting Age,--vain Doubts And Idle Cares And Over Caution.

I Maintain, Against The Enemies Of The Stage, That Patterns Of Piety, Decently Represented, May Second The Precepts.

It Is A Madness To Make Fortune The Mistress Of Events, Because In Herself She Is Nothing, Can Rule Nothing, But Is Ruled By Prudence.

Having Mourned Your Sin, For Outward Eden Lost, Find Paradise Within.

Great Souls Forgive Not Injuries Till Time Has Put Their Enemies Within Their Power, That They May Show Forgiveness Is Their Own.
