Men now seek to explore each thing from within and without too!
How canst thou make thy escape, Truth, from their eager pursuit?
That they may catch thee, with nets and poles extended they seek thee
But with a spirit-like tread, glidest thou out of the throng.
CORRECTNESS.
Free from blemish to be, is the lowest of steps, and highest;
Weakness and greatness alone ever arrive at this point.
THE THREE AGES OF NATURE.
Life she received from fable; the schools deprived her of being,
Life creative again she has from reason received.
THE LAW OF NATURE.
It has ever been so, my friend, and will ever remain so:
Weakness has rules for itself,—vigor is crowned with success.
CHOICE.
If thou canst not give pleasure to all by thy deeds and thy knowledge,
Give it then, unto the few; many to please is but vain.
