What Is There More Kindly

Alas For The Affairs Of Men! When They Are Fortunate You Might Compare Them To A Shadow; And If They Are Unfortunate, A Wet Sponge With One Dash Wipes The Picture Away.

Hungry Wailing Standeth Not Aloof.

High Fortune, This In Man's Eye Is God And More Than God Is This.

Time In His Aging Overtakes All Things Alike.

Be It Mine To Draw From Wisdom's Fount, Pure As It Flows, That Calm Of Soul Which Virtue Only Knows.
