PATIENCE to PEACE

PATIENCE.—Like Patience, gazing on kings’ graves and smiling

Extremity out of act.

When that her golden couplets are disclos’d.

Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act V. Scene 1.

Patience, and shuffle the cards.

On one hand, ever gentle Patience sat,
On whose calm bosom I reclin’d my head;
And on the other silent Contemplation.

Lillo.—Fatal Curiosity, Act I. Scene 2.

She never told her love,
But let concealment, like a worm i’ the bud,
Feed on her damask cheek: she pin’d in thought;
And, with a green and yellow melancholy,
She sat, like Patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief.

Shakespeare.—Twelfth Night, Act II. Scene 4.

’Tis hard: but patience must endure,
And soothe the woes it cannot cure.

How poor are they that have not patience!
What wound did ever heal but by degrees?

2. Not so sick, my lord,
As she is troubled with thick-coming fancies,
That keep her from her rest.

Must minister to himself.

We left our country for our country’s good.

Make rich the ribs, but bankerout the wits.
