Nice philosophy
May tolerate unlikely arguments,
But heaven admits no jest."

"Why, I hold fate
Clasped in my fist, and could command the course
Of time's eternal motion, hadst thou been
One thought more steady than an ebbing sea."

To live most free, we're caught in our own toils."

"Honour,
How much we fight with weakness to preserve thee."
