Ill Fortune Seldom Comes Alone.

Old Age Creeps On Us Ere We Think It Nigh.

Desire Of Greatness Is A Godlike Sin.

And Love's The Noblest Frailty Of The Mind.

Fame Then Was Cheap, And The First Comer Sped; And They Have Kept It Since By Being Dead.

A Brave Man Scorns To Quarrel Once A Day; Like Hectors In At Every Petty Fray.
