Side 212 - ... falling tear; We only part to meet again. Change as ye list, ye winds; my heart shall be The faithful compass that still points to thee. ' Believe not what the landmen say Who tempt with doubts thy constant mind: They'll tell thee, sailors, when away, In every port a mistress find: Yes, yes, believe them when they tell thee so, For Thou art present wheresoe'er I go.
Side 270 - Bove Galen's diet, or Hippoc'rates' : Strive to live well ; tread in the upright ways, And rather count thy actions than thy days ; Then thou hast lived enough amongst us here ; For every day well spent I count a year.
