OR him light labor spread her wholesome store, 
Just gave what life requir’d, but gave no more; 
His best companions, innocence and health; 
And his best riches, ignorance of wealth. —Goldsmith. 
RUDENCE, thou virtue of the mind, by which Assyrian carpets, chairs of ivory, 
We do consult of all that’s good or evil, The luxuries of a stupendous house, 
Conducting to felicity; direct Garments perfum’d, gems valued not for use, 
My thoughts and actions by the rules of reason; But needless ornament; a sumptuous table, 
Teach me contempt of all inferior vanities; 
And all the baits of sense. =

What loss or gain may follow, thou mayst guess; 
Thou then wilt be secure of the success. —Sir F. Denham.

Against misfortune’s coming tlde. —pyittacus, Think on the means, the manner and the end. i
