‘T was good advice, and meant, my son, Be good Picture Quote #1

The coward never on himself relies, But to an equal for assistance flies Picture Quote #1

Feel you the barren flattery of a rhyme?Can poets soothe you, when you pine for bread,By winding myrtle round your ruin’d shed? Picture Quote #1

Her air, her manners, all who saw admir’d; Courteous though coy, and gentle though retir’d; The joy of youth and health her eyes display’d, And ease of heart her every look convey’d Picture Quote #1

Oh, rather give me commentators plain, Who with no deep researches vex the brain; Who from the dark and doubtful love to run, And hold their glimmering tapers to the sun Picture Quote #1

O days remember’d well! remember’d all! The bitter sweet, the honey and the gall; Those garden rambles in the silent night, Those trees so shady, and that moon se bright, That thickset alley by the arbor clos’d, That woodbine seat where we at last repos’d; And then the hopes that came and then were gone, Quick as the clouds beneath the moon past on Picture Quote #1

Blest be the gracious Power, who taught mankind To stamp a lasting image of the mind! Beasts may convey, and tuneful birds may sing, Their mutual feelings, in the opening spring; But Man alone has skill and power to send The heart’s warm dictates to the distant friend; ‘Tis his alone to please, instruct, advise Ages remote, and nations yet to rise Picture Quote #1

Learning is better worth than houses or land Picture Quote #1

Such harmony in motion, speech and air, that without fairness, she was more than fair Picture Quote #1

Be there a will, and wisdom finds a way Picture Quote #1

His liberal soul with every sect agreed, unheard their reasons, he received their creed Picture Quote #1

Some hearts are hidden, some have not a heart Picture Quote #1

Better to love amiss than nothing to have loved Picture Quote #1

Feed the musician, and he’s out of tune Picture Quote #1
