| The Difference between Them. |
| This, praise devoureth howsoe'er exprest, This, starves in sullen fast denied the best. |
| To a Tear. |
| O symbol dubious of mirth or woe! Is't wit, or grief, or onions makes you flow? |
| Truth and Love. |
| Truth without Love its mark must often miss, It gives a cuff when you expect a kiss. |
| War. |
| Thousands on distant fields endure and die; Thousands at home can give no reason why. |
| Weak and Strong. |
| Some by the strength of others keep alive; But full as many on their weakness thrive. |
| Wisdom. |
| Queen of all knowledge, thou, in every age! Science thy counsellor, and Art thy page. |
| Wit and Humour. |
| Wit from the mind, and Humour from the mode, And each helps Mirth to cheer life's weary road. |
| Wit, Humour, and Comedy. |
| Humour is mode and form, Wit thought and sprite; Both to combine is Comedy's delight. |
| Wit, Beauty, and Pronunciation. |
| Like Cupid's bow her vermeil lip she bends, And with a twang her flashing wit descends. |
| Woman loves Man of renown. |
| Dearer his name than beauty, youth, and pelf; She'd be his Fame, and blow the trump herself. |
