FRAGILE IS BEAUTY
Fragile is beauty: with advancing years 'Tis less and less, and, last, it disappears
Your hair too, fair one, will turn grey and thin; And wrinkles furrow that now rounded skin; Then brace the mind and thus beauty fortify, The mind alone is yours, until you die
106
Beauty without kindness dies unenjoyed and undelighting
--_Johnson_

O bed! Delicious bed!
That heaven upon earth to the weary head!
108

110
A beneficent person is like a fountain watering the earth, and spreading fertility; it is, therefore, ive than receive
--_Epicurus_
111
There is no benefit so snify it
--_Seneca_
