HASTE to HEART

HASTE.—Running together all about,
The servants put each other out,
Till the grave master had decreed,
The more haste, ever the worst speed.

Churchill.—The Ghost, Book IV.

Farewell; and let your haste commend your duty.

Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act I. Scene 2. (The King to his Ambassador.)

Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee
Jest and youthful jollity,
Quips and cranks, and wanton wiles,
Nods and becks, and wreathed smiles.

Milton.—L’Allegro, Line 25.

HATE.—They shewed their favours to conceal their hates.

I do hate him as I hate the devil.

Ben Jonson.—Every Man out of His Humour, Act I. Scene 1.

HAUNTS.—In the busy haunts of men,
In the still and shadowy glen,
When the social board is crown’d,
When the wine-cup sparkles round;
When his couch of sleep is prest,
And a dream his spirit’s guest;
When his bosom knows no fear,
Let the dagger still be near,
Till, sudden as the lightning’s dart,
Silent and swift it reach his heart!

Mrs. Hemans.—Tale of the Secret Tribunal, Page 196.

He shall not when he wold-a.

She that will not when she may,
When she will she shall have nay.

Murphy.—The Upholsterer, Act II.

HEALTH.—From labour health, from health contentment springs.

Beattie.—The Minstrel, Book I. Verse 13. Line 1.

Reason’s whole pleasure, all the joys of sense,
Lie in three words, Health, Peace, and Competence:
But health consists with Temperance alone;
And Peace, oh Virtue! Peace is all thy own.

Pope.—Essay on Man, Epi. IV. Line 79.

Ah! what avail the largest gifts of Heaven,
When drooping health and spirits go amiss?
How tasteless then whatever can be given!
Health is the vital principle of bliss.
