JOHN HOOLE English dramatist and translator (1727 - 1803) A sturdy oak, which nature forms   To brave a hundred winters storms,     While round its head the whirlwinds blow,       Remains with root infix'd below:         When fell'd to earth, a ship it sails           Through dashing waves and driving gales             And now at sea, again defies               The threat'ning clouds and howling skies.       - [Oak] The glorious frailty of the noble mind.       - [Ambition] The toils of honour dignify repose.       - Metastasia--Achilles in Lucias          (act III, last scene) [Repose] 'Tis often constancy to change the mind.       - Metastasio--Sieves [Constancy] For while the treason I detest,   The traitor still I love.       - Metastatio--Romulus and Hersilia          (act I, sc. 5) [Treason] Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
