INGRATITUDE.

Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back,
Wherein he puts alms for oblivion,

A great-sized monster of ingratitude;

Those scraps are good deeds past: which are devour'd As fast as they are made, forgot as soon

As done.

I hate ingratitude more in a man

Than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness,
Or any taint of vice, whose strong corruption.
Inhabits our frail blood.

Thou art not so unkind

As we do turn our backs

From our companion thrown into his grave.
So his familiars to his buried fortunes
Slink all away; leave their false vows with him
Like empty purses pick'd: and his poor self,
A dedicated beggar to the air,

With his disease of all-shunn'd poverty,

Walks, like contempt alone.

SHAKSPERE, Timon of Athens, act 4, sc. 2.

Deserted, at his utmost need,
By those his former bounty fed ;
On the bare earth exposed he lies,
With not a friend to close his eyes.

IT IS EXCELLENT, &c.

It is excellent to have a giant's strength;

IT MUST BE SO.

It must be so- -Plato, thou reasonest well,
Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire,
This longing after immortality?

Or whence this secret dread, and inward horror,
Of falling into nought? why shrinks the soul
Back on herself, and startles at destruction?
'Tis the Divinity that stirs within us;
"Tis heaven itself that points out an hereafter,
And intimates Eternity to man.

That in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation.
