Is there a heart that music cannot melt?
Alas! how is that rugged heart forlorn.

No music is so charming to my ear as the requests of my friends, and the supplications of those in want of my a.s.sistance.
--_Caesar._

For art may err, but nature cannot miss.
--_J. Dryden._
1424
Our nature exists by motion; perfect rest is death.
1425
Good-nature, like a bee, collects honey from every herb. Ill-nature, like a spider, sucks poison from the sweetest flower.

Good-nature is the beauty of the mind, and, like personal beauty, wins almost without anything else.
--_Hanway._

NATURE.
No ordinance of man shall override The settled laws of nature and of G.o.d; Not written these in pages of a book, Nor were they framed to-day, nor yesterday; We know not whence they are; but this we know, That they from all eternity have been, And shall to all eternity endure.
--_Sophocles, born 495 B. C._
1429
Every one follows the inclinations of his own nature.
--_Propertius._
1430
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely sh.o.r.e, There is society where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but nature more, From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the universe, and feel What I am can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.
--_Lord Byron._
1431
Who can paint Like nature? Can imagination boast, Amid its gay creation, hues like hers?
--_J. Thomson._
1432
Tender handed stroke a nettle And it stings you for your pains; Grasp it like a man of mettle, And it soft as silk remains; Thus it is with vulgar natures, Use them kindly, they rebel: But be rough as nutmeg graters, And the rogues obey you well.
--_Aaron Hill._
1433
