A man who stole the livery of the court of heaven to serve the devil in. - [Bigotry] A temple of the Holy Ghost, and yet Of lodging fiends. - [Heart] All are friends in heaven, all faithful friends, And many friendships in the days of Time Begun, are lasting there and growing still. - [Friends] But the unfaithful priest, what tongue Enough, shall execrate? - [Ministers] Enjoyment stops where indolence begins. - [Idleness] He sat amid his bags, and, with a look Which hell might be ashamed of, drove the poor Away unalmsed; and midst abundance died-- Sorest of evils!--died of utter want. - [Avarice] He was the freeman whom the truth made free; Who first of all, the bands of Satan broke; Who broke the bands of sin, and for his soul, In spite of fools consulted seriously. - [Freedom] Highest when it stoops. - [Humility] Living jewels, dropped unstained from heaven. - [Children] Maternal love! thou word that sums all bliss, Gives and receives all bliss,-- fullest when most Thou givest! spring-head of all felicity, Deepest when most is drawn! emblem of God! O'erflowing most when greatest numbers drink! - [Mothers] Of all the phantoms fleeting in the mist Of time, though meagre all and ghostly thin; Most unsubstantial, unessential shade Was earthly fame. - [Fame] Of lunacy, Innumerous were the causes; humbled pride, Ambition disappointed, riches lost, And bodily disease, and sorrow, oft By man inflicted on his brother man; Sorrow, that, made the reason drunk, and yet Left much untasted.

The moon awoke, and from her maiden face, Shedding her cloudy locks, looked meekly forth, And with her virgin stars walked in the heavens-- Walked nightly there, conversing as she walked, Of purity, and holiness, and God. - [Astronomy] Who born so poor, Of intellect so mean, as not to know What seem'd the best; and knowing not to do? As not to know what God and conscience bade, And what they bade not able to obey?' - [Conscience] With one hand he put A penny in the urn of poverty, And with the other took a shilling out. - [Deceit] Sorrows remembered sweeten present joy. - Course of Time (bk.
