Youth Should Watch Joys And Shoot Them

For Art May Err, But Nature Cannot Miss.

Since A True Knowledge Of Nature Gives Us Pleasure, A Lively Imitation Of It, Either In Poetry Or Painting, Must Produce A Much Greater; For Both These Arts Are Not Only True Imitations Of Nature, But Of The Best Nature.

So Over Violent, Or Over Civil That Every Man With Him Was God Or Devil.

Ye Moon And Stars, Bear Witness To The Truth.

Fortune's Unjust; She Ruins Oft The Brave, And Him Who Should Be Victor, Makes The Slave.
