More from George Crabbe

  1. Secrets with girls, like loaded guns with boys, Are never valued till they make a noise.
  2. To sigh, yet not recede; to grieve, yet not repent.
  3. 'T was good advice, and meant, my son, Be good.
  4. And took for truth the test of ridicule.
  5. But 'twas a maxim he had often tried, That right was right, and there he would abide.
  6. Time has touched me gently in his race, And left no odious furrows in my face.
  7. Better to love amiss than nothing to have loved.
  8. Cut and come again.
