And what we blush to speak, she bids us write.

Beauty no other thing is, than a beam
Flash'd out between the middle and extreme.

150. A MEAN IN OUR MEANS

Though frankincense the deities require,

Such be our gifts, and such be our expense,
As for ourselves to leave some frankincense.

151. MONEY MAKES THE MIRTH

When all birds else do of their music fail,
Money's the still-sweet-singing nightingale!
