"Nay, but weigh well what you presume to swear! Oaths are of dreadful Weight—and, if they're false, Draw down Damnation."

"When Anger rushes, unrestrain'd, to Action, Like a hot Steed, it stumbles in its way! The Man of Thought wounds deepest, and strikes safely."

"He lives to build, not boast, a generous race; No tenth transmitter of a foolish face."

"May see thee now, though late, redeem thy name, And glorify what else is damn'd to fame."
