dowed raggedness, defend you From seasons such as these? _King Lear, Act iii. Sc. 4_. SHAKESPEARE. Blow wind, swell billow, and swim bark! The storm is up, and all is on the hazard. _Julius Caesar, Act v. Sc. 1_. SHAKESPEARE. I have seen tempests, when the scolding winds Have rived the knotty oaks, and I have seen The ambitious ocean swell and rage and foam, To be exalted with the threat'ning clouds. _Julius Caesar, Act_ i. _Sc_. 3. SHAKESPEARE. Seas Rough with black winds, and storms Unwonted. _Book I. Ode V_. HORACE. _Trans. of_ MILTON. Lightnings, that show the vast and foamy deep, The rending thunders, as they onward roll, The loud, loud winds, that o'er the billows sweep-- Shake the firm nerve, appal the bravest soul! _Mysteries of Udolpho: The Mariner_. MRS. ANN RADCLIFFE. SUCCESS. In the lexicon of youth, which fate reserves For a bright manhood, there is no such word As--_fail. Richelieu, Act_ ii. _Sc. 2_. E. BULWER-LYTTON. The star of the unconquered will. _The Light of Stars_. H.W. LONGFELLOW. 'T is not in mortals to command success, But we'll do more, Sempronius; we'll deserve it. _Cato, Act_ i. _Sc_. 2. J. ADDISON. And many strokes, though with a little axe, Hew down and fell the hardest-timbered oak. _King Henry VI., Pt. III. Act_ ii. _Sc_. 1. SHAKESPEARE. Such a nature. Tickled with good success, disdains the shadow Which he treads on at noon. _Coriolanus, Act_ i. _Sc_. 1. SHAKESPEARE. In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft, I shot his fellow of the self-same flight The self-same way, with more advised watch. To find the other forth; and by adventuring both, I oft found both. _Merchant of Venice, Act_ i. _Sc_. 1. SHAKESPEARE. Success is counted sweetest By those who ne'er succeed. _Success_. EMILY DICKINSON. SUICIDE. He That kills himself t' avoid misery, fears it, And at the best shows but a bastard valor: This life's a fort committed to my trust, Which I must not yield up, till it be forced; Nor will I: he's not valiant that dares die, But he that boldly bears calamity. _The Maid of Honor_. P. MASSINGER. All mankind Is one of these two cowards; Either to wish to die When he should live, or live when he should die. _The Blind Lady_. SIR E. HOWARD.
