  2. Wishing, of all employments, is the worst.
  3. Heaven's Sovereign saves all beings but himself That hideous sight,-a naked human heart.
  4. Man wants little, nor that little long.
  5. Lovely in death the beauteous ruin lay; And if in death still lovely, lovelier there; Far lovelier! pity swells the tide of love.
  6. A God all mercy is a God unjust.
  7. 'Tis impious in a good man to be sad
  8. Beautiful as sweet! And young as beautiful! and soft as young! And gay as soft! and innocent as gay.
