Some seek to salve their blotted name 
With other’s blot, till all do taste of shame.

Friendship, our only wealth, our last retreat and strength. 
Secure against ill-fortune and the world.

Persimnion _ Amid Nature's beauties. 
If thou art worn and hard beset 
With sorrows that thou wouldst forget, 
If thou wouldst read a lesson that will keep 
Thy heart from fainting, and thy soul from sleep, 
Go to the woods and hills !—no tears 
Dim the sweet look that Nature wears.
