| William Drummond
He lives who dies to win a lasting name. He that will not reason is a bigot, He that cannot reason is a fool, He that dares not reason is a slave. He who will not reason, is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; and he who dares not is a slave. I study myself more than any other subject; it is my metaphysic, and my physic. Iron sharpens iron; scholar, the scholar. Let Zephyr only breathe and with her tresses play. My life lies in those eyes which have me slain. Of this fair volume which we world do name If we the sheets and leaves could turn with care. Put a bridle on thy tongue; set a guard before thy lips, lest the words of thine own mouth destroy thy peace... on much speaking cometh repentance, but in silence is safety. Sleep, Silence's child, sweet father of soft rest, Prince whose approach peace to all mortals brings Indifferent host to shepherds and kings; Sole comforter to minds with grief opprest. So that my life be brave, what though not long? Study what thou art Whereof thou art a part What thou knowest of this art This is really what thou art. All that is without thee also is within. There is a silence, the child of love, which expresses everything, and proclaims more loudly than the tongue is able to do. What sweet delight a quiet life affords. |
