PROVERBS

 'TIS easier far a wreath to bind,
Than a good owner fort to find.


I KILL'D a thousand flies overnight,
Yet was waken'd by one, as soon as twas light.


To the mother I give;
For the daughter I live.


A BREACH is every day,

By many a mortal storm'd;
Let them fall in the gaps as they may,

Yet a heap of dead is ne'er form'd.


WHAT harm has thy poor mirror done, alas?
Look not so ugly, prythee, in the glass!

 1815.
