Imaginary terrors scare
  A timorous soul with real fear! 
  Nay, e’en the wise and brave are cowed
  By apprehensions from the crowd;

  A frog a lion may disarm,
  And yet how causeless the alarm!

      ANONYMOUS

  Here check we our career;
  Long books I greatly fear;
  I would not quite exhaust my stuff;
  The flower of subjects is enough.
