Great Works Are Performed, Not By Strength,

Greece Appears To Be The Fountain Of Knowledge; Rome Of Elegance

To Hear Complaints Is Wearisome Alike To The Wretched And The Happy.

Of Many, Imagined Blessings It May Be Doubted Whether He That Wants Or Possesses Them Had More Reason To Be Satisfied With His Lot.

They Who Have Already Enjoyed The Crowds And Noise Of The Great City, Know Their Desire To Return Is Little More Than The Restlessness Of A Vacant Mind, That They Are Not So Much Led By Hope As Driven By Disgust, And Wish Rather To Leave The Country Than To See The Town.

Guilt Once Harbored In The Conscious Breast, Intimidates The Brave, Degrades The Great.
