WISDOM.

But riches purchased wisdom yet for none.

In every rill a sweet instruction flows.

And Wisdom's self
Oft seeks to sweet retired solitude,
Where, with her best nurse, Contemplation,
She plumes her feathers, and lets grow her wings,
That in the various bustle of resort
Were all-to ruffled, and sometimes impaired.

Superior wisdom is superior bliss.

Than when we soar.

That which before us lies in daily life
Is the prime wisdom.

And though no science, fairly worth the seven.
