Impiety will out, never so closely done,
No walls can hide us from the eye of heaven, For shame must end what wickedness begun, Forth breaks reproach when we least think thereon. DANIELL. * * * * * WISDOM. A wise man poor Is like a sacred book that's never read, T' himself he lives, and to all else seems dead. This age thinks better of a gilded fool, Than of thread-bare saint in Wisdom's school DEKKAR. * * * * * CHARITY. She was a woman in the freshest age, Of wondrous beauty, and of bounty rare, With goodly grace, and comely personage. |
