Vice is a monster of so frightful mien,
As to be hated, needs but to be seen;
But seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.

Virtuous and vicious every man must be,
Few in th' extreme, but all in the degree.

His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.

Honor and shame from no condition rise;
Act well your part--there all the honor lies.
Line 203.
Worth makes the man, and want of it the fellow;
The rest is all but leather or prunella.
Line 215.

An honest man's the noblest work of God.

The wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind.

Slave to no sect, who takes no private road,
But looks through nature up to nature's God.
