Seite 247 - A daring pilot in extremity, Pleased with the danger, when the waves went high, He sought the storms; but, for a calm unfit, Would steer too nigh the sands to boast his wit. * Great wits are sure to madness near allied, And thin partitions do their bounds divide ; JOHN DRYDEN Else, why should he, with wealth and honour blest, Refuse his age the needful hours of rest?
