Retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books,
Ease and
alternate labour, useful life,
Progressive virtue, and approving heaven!

They’ll take suggestion as a cat laps milk.

An island in thy manners; far disjoin’d
From the whole world of
rationals beside!

SUICIDE.—He is dead, Cæsar;
Not by a public minister of justice;
Nor by a hired knife; but that self hand,
Which
writ his honour in the acts it did.

How! leap into the pit our life to save?
To save our life leap all into the grave?

Beware of desperate steps. The darkest day,
Live till to-morrow, will have pass’d away.
