Men are but children of a larger growth;
Our appetites as apt to change as theirs,
And full as craving too, and full as vain.
Dryden: All for Love, iv. 1.
Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest.
True friendship’s laws are by this rule expressed,
Welcome, etc.—Pope: Odyssey, B. xv.
More worship the rising than the setting sun.
Pompey to Sylla: Plutarch’s Lives.
Incidis in Scillam cupiens vitare Charybdim.
