"What though youth gave love and roses, Age still leaves us friends and wine." — Thomas Moore

Bastard Freedom waves Her fustian flag in mockery over slaves.

A pretty wife is something for the fastidious vanity of a roue to retire upon.

Ask a woman's advice, and whatever she advises, Do the very reverse and you're sure to be wise.

Like ships that have gone down at sea, when heaven was all tranquillity.
