Pleasure Never Comes Sincere To Man; But

Let Grace And Goodness Be The Principal Loadstone Of Thy Affections.

Since A True Knowledge Of Nature Gives Us Pleasure, A Lively Imitation Of It, Either In Poetry Or Painting, Must Produce A Much Greater; For Both These Arts Are Not Only True Imitations Of Nature, But Of The Best Nature.

If Passion Rules, How Weak Does Reason Prove!

Time And Death Shall Depart And Say In Flying Love Has Found Out A Way To Live, By Dying.

Seek Not To Know What Must Not Be Reveal, For Joy Only Flows Where Fate Is Most Concealed. A Busy Person Would Find Their Sorrows Much More; If Future Fortunes Were Known Before!
