<p>YOU say that Isabella is of such surpassing grace,<lb/> So beautiful in form and ev'ry feature of her face;<lb/> That you're surpris'd I do not ask her hand at once, as you<lb/> Affirm, if you were in my place, you would without ado.<lb/> But, Friend, you are mistaken, and you estimate too high<lb/> The beauty of a figure, and the lustre of an eye:<lb/> These I admit she has, but something wanting still I find-<lb/> Though beautiful in face,-she wants the beauty of the mind.<lb/> <pb n="uiuc_83931c29eep_fac206"/> She's like the handsome Monument, to which the sculptor's art<lb/> Has given grace and symmetry to every outward part;<lb/> Externally adorn'd with all that most the eye can win,<lb/> All outward shew like that is she, but empty all within.<lb/> Pay less regard to Form and Face, when you select a wife;<lb/> They Beauty of the Mind alone is that which lasts for life.</p> <p>MISTAKEN Nature here has join'd<lb/> A beauteous face and ugly mind;<lb/> In vain the faultless features strike,<lb/> When soul and body are unlike:<lb/> Pity that snowy breast should hide<lb/> Deceit and avarice and pride. -POPE.<lb/> NAM divinitus interdum, Venerisque sagittis,<lb/> Deteriore fit ut formâ muliercula ametur;<lb/> Nam facit ipsa suis interdum foemina factis,<lb/> Morigerisque modis, et mundo corpore culta,<lb/> Ut facilè insuescat vir secum ducere vitam.-LUCRET.<lb/> PLUS aliquid formâ est, plus est oculisque genisque;<lb/> Plus aliquid toto corpore, quidquid amo.-DAN. HEYNSIUS.<lb/> SIT procul omne nefas, ut ameris amabilis esto;<lb/> Quod tibi non facies, solaque forma dabit.-OVID.<lb/> TEMERARIIS judiciis plena sunt omnia, de quo desperamus subito convertitur, et fit<lb/> optimus; de quo multum praesumpseramus, deficit et fit pessimus, nec timor noster<lb/> certus est, nec amor.-AUGUST. de Past.</p> <p>JUDGE not according to the Appearance, but judge righteous judgment.<lb/> John vii. 24.<lb/> THE Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance,<lb/> but the Lord looketh on the heart.-I Sam. xvi. 7.<lb/> FAVOUR is deceitful, and Beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the Lord, she<lb/> shall be praised.-Proverbs xxxi. 30.<lb/> TEL semble sage en apparence,<lb/> Qui fol est en quintessence.</p> <pb n="uiuc_83931c29eep_fac207"/> <p>Fronti nulla Fides.<lb/> WHEN travellers first the Pyramids behold,<lb/> Lifting their sun-lit tops in contrast bold<lb/> Against the splendour of th'Egyptian sky;<lb/> Their grand dimensions to the fancy brings<lb/> The semblance of the Palaces of Kings;<lb/> So great is their external majesty!<lb/> But what are they within?-No Halls are there,<lb/> No Royal Courts, nor Princely Chambers fair,<lb/> The imaged scenes of Eastern pageantry.<lb/> What then? mere dust! the Ashes of the Dead!<lb/> Around, within, on every side outspread<lb/> In one drear, dread Sepulchral mockery!<lb/> 'Tis thus we are instructed to beware<lb/> Of judging from Apppearances alone;<lb/> ''The Castles that we image in the air''<lb/> Are not more empty-when the truth is known.</p> <p>Plus on a de fonds, et plus on est homme.<lb/> THE Inside ought always to be worth as much again as the outward appearance.<lb/> There are people who have exterior only; resembling houses which have not<lb/> been finished for want of funds: the entry is palatial, the inside a hovel. This kind<lb/> or Persons presents nothing to fix the attention, or rather, all within them is fixed;<lb/> for after the first salutation the conversation is ended. They make their introductory<lb/> bow, after the fashion of the Sicilian horses, which after one or two caracoles become<lb/> suddenly metamorphosed into motionless taciturnity. For words are soon exhausted<lb/> when the mind is barren. It is easy for them to deceive others who like themselves<lb/> have nothing but appearance, but they are objects of pity to persons of discernment,<lb/> who soon discover that they are empty within.-GRACIAN'S Maxims.</p> <p>Tinnit; inane est.<lb/> IT'S empty: hark, it sounds: 'tis vain and void,<lb/> What's here to be enjoy'd<lb/> But grief and sickness, and large bills of sorrow,<lb/> Drawn now, and cross'd to-morrow?<lb/> Or what are men, but puffs of dying breath,<lb/> Reviv'd with living death?<lb/> Fond youth, oh, build thy hopes on surer grounds<lb/> Than what dull flesh propounds:<lb/> Trust not this hollow world, 'tis empty: hark, it sounds.<lb/> QUARLES' Emblems</p> <pb n="uiuc_83931c29eep_fac208"/> <p>WHO so beholds this smoaky snuffe of mine,<lb/> He must needs thinke that sometime I did shine;<lb/> But now my Light is gone, my glory's darke,<lb/> Onely of Light I have the brand and marke.<lb/> Who for his Country hath with valour stood,<lb/> His wounds doe shew, that he hath spent his blood:<lb/> In Venus training who hath beene practised,<lb/> Some token he bears of what he exercised.<lb/> The Schollars badge, are fallow lookes and blanch,<lb/> The gluttons is the fatnesse of his panch.<lb/> Vertue and vice doth leave some token behind,<lb/> Which of themselves doe put us still in minde.<lb/> FARLIE'S Emblems.</p>
