Quotes

  • I did but see him and he disappeared,I did but pluck the rose-bud and it fell,A sorrow unforeseen and scarcely feared,For ill can mortals their afflictions spell.
  • Friendship's an abstract of this noble flame,'Tis love refined and purged from all its dross,The next to angel's love, if not the same,As strong as passion is, though not so gross:It antedates a glad eternityAnd is an heaven in epitome.
  • Essential honour must be in a friend,Not such as every breath fans to and fro;But born within, is its own judge and end,And dares not sin, though sure that none should know.Where friendship's spoke, honesty's understood;For none can be a friend that is not good.
