Beauty’s tears are lovelier than her smile. 1877 CAMPBELL:  Pl. of Hope, Pt. i., Line 180.

Under the sod and the dew,
  Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue,
  Tears and love for the Gray.
1878
FRANCIS M. FINCH:  The Blue and the Gray.

=Temper.=

Ye gods, it doth amaze me
A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world
And bear the palm alone.
1879
SHAKS.:  Jul.  Caesar, Act i., Sc. 2.

=Temperance.=

Temp’rate in every place,—­abroad, at home.  Thence will applause, and hence will profit come; And health from either—­he in time prepares For sickness, age, and their attendant cares. 1880 CRABBE:  The Borough, Letter xvii., Line 198.

=Tempests.=

The southern wind
Doth play the trumpet to his purposes;
And, by his hollow whistling in the leaves,
Foretells a tempest and a blustering day.
1881
SHAKS.:  1 Henry IV., Act v., Sc. 1.

Suddeine they see from midst of all the maine The surging waters like a mountaine rise, And the great sea puft up with proud disdaine, To swell above the measure of his guise, As threatning to devoure all that his powre despise. 1882 SPENSER:  Faerie Queene, Bk. ii., Canto xii., St. 21.

From cloud to cloud the rending lightnings rage;
Till, in the furious elemental war
Dissolv’d, the whole precipitated mass,
Unbroken floods and solid torrents pours.
1883
THOMSON:  Seasons, Summer, Line 799.

The sky
Is overcast, and musters muttering thunder,
In clouds that seem approaching fast, and show
In forked flashes a commanding tempest.
1884
BYRON:  Sardanapalus, Act ii., Sc. 1.

=Temptation.=

Oftentimes, to win us to our harm,
The instruments of darkness tell us truths;
Win us with honest trifles, to betray us
In deepest consequence.
1885
SHAKS.:  Macbeth, Act i., Sc. 3.

’Tis the temptation of the devil
That makes all human actions evil;
For saints may do the same things by
The spirit, in sincerity,
Which other men are tempted to,
And at the devil’s instance do: 
And yet the actions be contrary,
Just as the saints and wicked vary.
1886
BUTLER:  Hudibras, Pt. ii., Canto ii., Line 233.

Safe from temptation, safe from sin’s pollution,
  She lives whom we call dead.
1887
LONGFELLOW:  Resignation

=Tenderness.=

Higher than the perfect song
For which love longeth,
Is the tender fear of wrong,
That never wrongeth.
1888
BAYARD TAYLOR:  Improvisations, Pt. v.

=Tents.=

Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
  And as silently steal away.
1889
LONGFELLOW:  The Day is Done.

=Terror.=

There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats. 1890 SHAKS.:  Jul.  Caesar, Act iv., Sc. 3.
