Home-keeping youth have ever homely wits.

Much is the force of heaven-bred poesy.

O heaven! were man
But constant, he were perfect.

Write till your ink be dry, and with your tears
Moist it again, and frame some feeling line
That may discover such integrity.

I'll be as patient as a gentle stream
And make a pastime of each weary step,
Till the last step have brought me to my love;
And there I'll rest, as after much turmoil
A blessed soul doth in Elysium.
