To Balance Fortune By A Just Expense,

Ah! What Avails It Me The Flocks To Keep, Who Lost My Heart While I Preserv'd My Sheep.

He Who Serves His Brother Best Gets Nearer God Than All The Rest.

Tis True, 'tis Certain; Man, Though Dead, Retains Part Of Himself; The Immortal Mind Remains.

For When Success A Lover's Toil Attends,few Ask, If Fraud Or Force Attain'd His Ends

Mark What Unvary'd Laws Preserve Each State, Laws Wise As Nature, And As Fixed As Fate.
