Fortune's Unjust; She Ruins Oft

With Odorous Oil Thy Head And Hair Are Sleek; And Then Thou Kemb'st The Tuzzes On Thy Cheek: Of These, My Barbers Take A Costly Care.

Self-defense Is Nature's Eldest Law.

As When The Dove Returning Bore The Mark Of Earth Restored To The Long Labouring Ark; The Relics Of Mankind, Secure At Rest, Oped Every Window To Receive The Guest, And The Fair Bearer Of The Message Bless'd.

Resolved To Ruin Or To Rule The State.

If We From Wealth To Poverty Descend, Want Gives To Know The Flatterer From The Friend.
