A man renown’d for repartee
Will seldom scruple to make free
With friendship’s finest feeling,
Will thrust a dagger at your breast,
And say he wounded you in jest,
By way of balm for healing.

Of indigested meals eat yesterday.

Her snaky crest.

Where the soul sours, and gradual rancor grows,
Imbitter’d more from peevish day to day.
1480
THOMSON:  Castle of Indolence, Canto i., St. 17.

  Yet lived she at its close,
And breathed the long, long night away,
  In statue-like repose.

Is spotless reputation; that away,
Men are but gilded loam, or painted clay.

The native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought;
And enterprises of great pith and moment,
With this regard, their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.
