QUATRAINS.

S. H.

WIT
ITH beams December planets dart

His cold eye truth and conduct scanned,

July was in his sunny heart,

October in his liberal hand.

A. H.

HIGH was her heart, and yet was well inclined,
Her manners made of bounty well refined;

Far capitals, and marble courts, her eye still

seemed to see,

Minstrels, and kings, and high-born dames, and

of the best that be.

"SUUM CUIQUE."

Every nook is wide;

Thy gossips spread each whisper,

And the gods from side to side.

ORATOR.

HE who has no hands

Perforce must use his tongue;

Foxes are so cunning

Because they are not strong.
