Does arbitrate the event, my nature is
That I incline to hope rather than fear,
And gladly banish squint suspicion.

But some heart, though unknown,

Of sympathy below:
Few are the hearts whence one same touch
Bids the same fountain flow.

For other's good, and melt at other's woe.

Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.

starve with nothing.

He hath eaten me out of house and home.

My cake is dough: but I'll in among the rest,
Out of hope of all but my share of the feast.

And gazed around them to the left and right
With the prophetic eye of appetite.
_Don Juan, Canto V_. LORD BYRON.

Blest be those feasts, with simple plenty crowned,
Where all the ruddy family around
Laugh at the jests or pranks that never
