his prospects brightening to the last, His heaven commences ere the world be past. 1487 GOLDSMITH: _Des. Village,_ Line 110. =Resolution.= The native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought; And enterprises of great pith and moment, With this regard, their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action. 1488 SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act iii., Sc. 1. =Respect.= You have too much respect upon the world: They lose it, that do buy it with much care. 1489 SHAKS.: _M. of Venice,_ Act i., Sc. 1. =Rest.= Who with a body filled and vacant mind Gets him to rest, crammed with distressful bread. 1490 SHAKS.: _Henry V.,_ Act iv., Sc. 1. Rest is sweet after strife. 1491 OWEN MEREDITH: _Lucile,_ Pt. i., Canto vi., St. 25. For too much rest itself becomes a pain. 1492 POPE: _Odyssey,_ Bk. xv., Line 429. =Results.= Who soweth good seed shall surely reap; The year grows rich as it groweth old; And life's latest sands are its sands of gold. 1493 JULIA C.R. DORR: _To the Bouquet Club._ =Retirement.= Retiring from the popular noise, I seek This unfrequented place to find some ease. 1494 MILTON: _Samson Agonistes,_ Line 16. O blest retirement, friend to life's decline, Retreats from care that never must be mine, How happy he who crowns, in shades like these, A youth of labor, with an age of ease; Who quits a world where strong temptations try, And, since 't is hard to combat, learns to fly. 1495 GOLDSMITH: _Des.

There was a sound of revelry by night, And Belgium's capital had gather'd then Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright The lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men. 1498 BYRON: _Ch. Harold,_ Canto iii., St. 21. =Revenge.= And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge, With Ate by his side, come hot from hell, Shall in these confines, with a monarch's voice, Cry "Havock," and let slip the dogs of war. 1499 SHAKS.: _Jul. Caesar,_ Act iii., Sc. 1. Revenge, at first though sweet, Bitter ere long, back on itself recoils. 1500 MILTON: _Par. Lost,_ Bk. ix., Line 171. Vengeance to God alone be
