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.

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.
