There Is A Proud Modesty In Merit.

When A Man's Life Is Under Debate, The Judge Can Ne'er Too Long Deliberate.

Good Sense And Good-nature Are Never Separated, Though The Ignorant World Has Thought Otherwise. Good-nature, By Which I Mean Beneficence And Candor, Is The Product Of Right Reason.

But When To Sin Our Biased Nature Leans, The Careful Devil Is Still At Hand With Means; And Providently Pimps For Ill Desires.

Ill Habits Gather Unseen Degrees, As Brooks Make Rivers, Rivers Run To Seas.

Rich The Treasure, Sweet The Pleasure,- Sweet Is Pleasure After Pain.
