Charm Strikes The Sight, But Merit Wins

'tis Not Enough Your Counsel Still Be True; Blunt Truths More Mischief Than Nice Falsehoods Do.

Not Always Actions Show The Man; We Find Who Does A Kindness Is Not Therefore Kind.

As With Narrow-necked Bottles; The Less They Have In Them, The More Noise They Make In Pouring Out.

Ye Flowers That Drop, Forsaken By The Spring, Ye Birds That, Left By Summer, Cease To Sing, Ye Trees That Fade, When Autumn Heats Remove, Say, Is Not Absence Death To Those Who Love?

Wit And Judgment Often Are At Strife.
