WILL.
A stronger hand restrains our wilful powers. A will must rule above the will of ours, Not following what our vain desires do woo, For virtue's sake, but what we only do. DRAYTON. * * * * * CONTENT. He only lives most happily That's free and far from majesty-- Can live content although unknown-- He fearing none, none fearing him-- Meddling with nothing but his own-- While gazing eyes at crowns grow dim. KYD. * * * * * Content feeds not on glory nor on pelf, Content can be contented with herself. |
