Dreamed by a happy man, while the dark cast
Is slowly brightening to his bridal morn.—Tennyson.
Copied from the Merchant of Venice:—
Then music is
As those dulcet sounds in break of day,
That creep into the dreaming bridegroom’s ear
And summon him to marriage.—III. 2.
How can we expect another to keep our secret if we cannot keep it ourselves?—La Rochefoucauld, Max. 90.
Toute révélation d’un secret est la faute de celui qui l’a confié.—La Bruyere: De la Société.
