The Muses Crown Virtue When

Among Many Reasons For Being Stupid It May Be Urged, It Is Being Like Other People, And Living Like One's Neighbours, And Indeed Without It, It May Be Difficult To Love Some Neighbours As Oneself: Now Seeing The Necessity Of Being Dull, You Won't, I Hope, Take It Amiss That You Find Me So.

Our Collection Of Men Is Very Antique, They Stand In My List Thus: A Man Of Sense, A Little Rusty, A Beau A Good Deal The Worse For Wearing, A Coxcomb Extremely Shattered, A Pretty Gentleman Very Insipid, A Baronet Very Solemn, A Squire Very Fat, A Fop Much Affected, A Barrister Learned In Coke Upon Littleton, But Who Knows Nothing Of `long Ways For Marry As Will', An Heir Apparent, Very Awkward; Which Of These Will Cast A Favourable Eye Upon Me I Don't Know.

I Always Wish To Find Great Virtues Where There Are Great Talents, And To Love What I Admire.

Not To Be Miserable Is All Some People Are Capable Of.

The Outrages Of The Powerful, The Insolence Of The Rich, Scorn Of The Proud, And Malice Of The Uncharitable, All Beating Against The Broken Spirit Of The Unfortunate.
