A Willing Mind Makes A Hard Journey

0 Summer Friendship, Whose Flat-tering Leaves Shadowed Us In Our Prosperity, With The Least Gust, Drop Off In The Autumn Of Adversity.

I Had Not To This Time Subsisted, But That I Was Supported By Your Frequent Courtesies And Favours.

It Is True Fortitude To Stand Firm Against All Shocks Of Fate, When Cowards Faint And Die In Fear To Suffer More Calamity.

I Have Play'd The Fool, The Gross Fool, To Believe The Bosom Of A Friend Will Hold A Secret Mine Own Could Not Contain.

Be Wise; Soar Not Too High To Fall; But Stoop To Rise.
