    That few but such as cannot write, translate.
    John, Sir Denham (1615–1669)

    Had joys no date, nor age no need,
    Then these delights my mind might move
    To live with thee and be thy Love.

    He that doth not as other men do, but endeavoureth that which ought to be done, shall thereby rather incur peril than preservation; for whoso laboureth to be sincerely perfect and good shall necessarily perish, living among men that are generally evil.
