re linked and tied hand in hand,
because it is by their influence that human hearts are so firmly united
to each other.--_Burton._
The king-becoming graces--devotion, patience, courage,
fortitude.--_Shakespeare._
Know you not, master, to some kind of men their graces serve them but as
enemies? No more do yours; your virtues, gentle master, are sanctified
and holy traitors to you. Oh, what a world is this, when what is comely
envenoms him that bears it!--_Shakespeare._
How inimitably graceful children are before they learn to
