O, while you live, tell truth, and shame the devil.
King Henry IV. Pt. I. Act iii. Sc. 1. SHAKESPEARE.
His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles,
His love sincere, his thoughts immaculate,
His tears pure messengers sent from his heart,
His heart as far from fraud as heaven from earth.
Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act ii. Sc. 7. SHAKESPEARE.
An honest tale speeds best being plainly told.
King Richard III., Act iv. Sc. 4. SHAKESPEARE.
Were there no heaven nor hell
I should be honest.
Duchess of Malfi, Act i. Sc. 1. J. WEBSTER.
SKY.
One of those heavenly days that cannot die.
Nutting. W. WORDSWORTH.
Green calm below, blue quietness above.
The Pennsylvania Pilgrim J.G. WHITTIER.
The soft blue sky did never melt
Into his heart; he never felt
The witchery of the soft blue sky!
Peter Bell. W. WORDSWORTH.
But now the fair traveller's come to the west,
His rays are all gold, and his beauties are best;
He paints the skies gay as he sinks to his rest,
And foretells a bright rising again.
A Summer Evening. DR. I. WATTS.
How bravely Autumn paints upon the sky
The gorgeous fame of Summer which is fled!
Written in a Volume of Shakespeare. T. HOOD.
