To be resigned when ills betide, Patient when favours are deni'd, And pleas'd with favours given, - Dear Chloe, this is wisdom's part This is that incense of the heart Whose fragrance smells to heaven.

More quotes by Nathaniel Cotton
Be mine that silent calm repast, A conscience cheerful to the last: That tree which bears immortal fruit, Without a canker at the root That friend which never fails the just, When other friends desert their trust.
Nathaniel Cotton
If solid happiness we prize, Within our breast this jewel lies, And they are fools who roam. The world has nothing to bestow From our own selves our joys must flow, And that dear hut, our home.
Nathaniel Cotton
Hold the fleet angel fast until he bless thee.
Nathaniel Cotton
Yet still we hug the dear deceit.
Nathaniel Cotton
On God for all events depend You cannot want when God's your friend. Weigh well your part and do your best Leave to your Maker all the rest.
Nathaniel Cotton
Thus hand in hand through life we 'll go Its checker'd paths of joy and woe With cautious steps we 'll tread.
Nathaniel Cotton
We'll therefore relish with content, Whate'er kind providence has sent, Nor aim beyond our pow'r For, if our stock be very small, 'Tis prudent to enjoy it all, Nor lose the present hour.
