Such As Ne'er Saw Swans May Think

Be Wise; Soar Not Too High To Fall; But Stoop To Rise.

True Dignity Is Never Gained By Place, And Never Lost When Honors Are Withdrawn.

Greatness, With Private Men Esteem'd A Blessing, Is To Me A Curse; And We, Whom, For Our High Births, They Conclude The Happy Freemen, Are The Only Slaves. Happy The Golden Mean!

They Are Only Safe That Know To Soothe The Prince's Appetite, And Serve His Lusts.

If You Like Not Hanging, Drown Yourself; Take Some Course For Your Reputation.
