Aaron Hill
Let shining Charity adorn your zeal, The noblest impulse generous minds can feel.
Aaron Hill
Hide not thy tears weep boldly, and be proud to give the flowing virtue manly way it is nature's mark to know an honest heart by.
Aaron Hill
Tender-handed stroke a nettle, And it stings you for your pains Grasp it like a man of mettle, And it soft as silk remains. 'Tis the same with common natures: Use 'em kindly, they rebel But be rough as nutmeg-graters, And the rogues obey you well.
Aaron Hill

Aaron Hill
Trust me--with women worth the being won, The softest lover ever best succeeds.
Aaron Hill
