258 psl. - A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows tho true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.
50 psl. - And, when I die, be sure you let me know Great Homer died three thousand years ago. Why did I write? what sin to me unknown Dipp'd me in ink, my parents', or my own? As yet a child, nor yet a fool to fame, I lisp'd in numbers, for the numbers came.
83 psl. - ... which prudence may confer on every state.
