So on the tip of his subduing tongue
All kind of arguments and question deep,
All replication prompt, and reason strong,
For his advantage still did wake and sleep;
To make the weeper laugh, the laugher weep,
He had the dialect and different skill,
Catching all passions in his craft of will.
hewer's Complaint. L. 120.


My tongue's use is to me no more
Than an unstringed viol or a harp.
Bidhard II. Act I. Sc. 3. L. 161.
i The heart hath treble wrong
When it is barr'd the aidance of the tongue.

That runs for ages without winding up?

Amos Bronson Alcott—Table-Talk. Traveling.


Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of
education; in the elder, a part of experience.
He that travelleth into a country before he
hath some entrance into the language, goeth
to school, and not to travel.
Bacon—Of Travel.


Go far—too far you cannot, still the farther
The more experience finds you : And go sparing ;—
One meal a week will serve you, and one suit,
Through all your travels; for you'll find it certain,
The poorer and the baser you appear,
The more you look through still.

Along a way he knows not, having crossed

A river rushing swiftly toward the deep,
And all its tossing current white with foam,
And stops and turns, and measures back his way.
