   1      Thou art right, immortal Shakespeare, great poet of
     humanity:
 
   3                   Sweet are the uses of adversity;
           Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
           Wears yet a precious jewel in his head.


   6      Trials teach mortals not to lean on a material staff,--
     a broken reed, which pierces the heart. We do not
     half remember this in the sunshine of joy

     always be the case, the other pre-eminently needs good
  27  company. Socrates considered patience salutary under
     such circumstances, making his Xantippe a discipline for
     his philosophy.
  30      Sorrow has its reward. It never leaves us
