Be Secret And Discreet; The Fairy Favors

Mere Poets Are Sottish As Mere Drunkards Are, Who Live In A Continual Mist, Without Seeing Or Judging Anything Clearly. A Man Should Be Learned In Several Sciences, And Should Have A Reasonable, Philosophical And In Some Measure A Mathematical Head, To Be A Complete And Excellent Poet.

Shame On The Body For Breaking Down While The Spirit Perseveres.

Happy The Man, And Happy He Alone, He, Who Can Call Today His Own.

Railing In Other Men May Be A Crime, But Ought To Pass For Mere Instinct In Him: Instinct He Follows And No Further Knows, For To Write Verse With Him Is To Transprose.

Love Is Love's Reward.
