You can name to show the way
To any woman, maid, or bride,
Who resolves to go astray.

VENUS, take my votive glass:
Since I am not what I was,
What from this day I shall be,
Venus, let me never see.

Prove every fool to be a poet.

Here lie the bones of Matthew Prior;

To me 'twas given to die; to thee 'tis given
To live: alas! one moment sets us even.
