Pàgina 31 - Stay here forever with thy charming sisters, Pity, Patience, Sobriety, and Solitude ; be ye my queens and my instructors ; teach me the stern duties of life ; remove far from my abode the weakness of heart, and giddiness of head, which follow prosperity. Holy Poverty ! teach me to endure without complaining, to impart without grudging, to seek the end of life higher than in pleasure, farther off than in power.
