Ridicule Has Followed The Vestiges Of Truth,

The Writing Of The Wise Are The Only Riches Our Posterity Cannot Squander.

Truth Sometimes Corner Unawares Upon Caution, And Sometimes Speaks In Public As Unconsciously As In A Dream.

When We Play The Fool, How Widethe Theatre Expands! Beside,how Long The Audience Sits Before Us!how Many Prompters! What A Chorus!

We Cannot Be Contented Because We Are Happy, And We Cannot Be Happy Because We Are Contented.

Kings Play At War Unfairly With Republics; They Can Only Lose Some Earth, And Some Creatures They Value As Little, While Republics Lose In Every Soldier A Part Of Themselves.
