Side 96 - Men suffer all their life long under the foolish superstition that they can be cheated. But it is as impossible for a man to be cheated by any one but himself, as for a thing to be and not to be at the same time.
Side 45 - rings of the world appear ; From each she nicely culls with curious toil, And decks the Goddess with the glitt'ring spoil.
