Strana 288 - To me indeed, though he was snatched away, Scipio still lives, and will always live ; for I love the virtue of a man, and assuredly of all things that either fortune or nature has bestowed upon me, I have none which I can compare with the friendship of Scipio.
Strana 21 - Learn the mystery of Progression duly: Do not call each glorious change, Decay ; But know we only hold our treasures truly, When it seems as if they passed away.
