Virtue, the strength and beauty of the soul,
Is the best gift of heaven; a happiness
That, even above the smiles and frowns of fate,
Exalts great Nature's favorites; a wealth
That ne'er encumbers, nor can be transferr'd.

John Armstrong

Much toil demands; the lean elastic less.
While winter chills the blood and binds the veins,
No labors are too hard; by those you 'scape
The slow diseases of the torpid year,
Endless to name.
