Side 16 - I'd shun, with as much studious care, As I would dens where hungry lions are ; And rather put up injuries, than be A plague to him, who'd be a plague to me. I value quiet at a price too great, To give for my revenge...
Side 14 - Obliging, open, without huffing, brave; Brisk in gay talking, and in sober, grave: Close in dispute, but not tenacious; try'd By...
Side 13 - I'd have a clear and competent estate, That I might live genteelly, but not great ; As much as I could moderately spend ; A little more, sometimes t' oblige a friend. Nor should the sons of poverty repine Too much at fortune ; they should taste of mine ; And all that objects of true pity were, Should be...
