No tribute's laid on castles in the air.

Night: An Epistle to Robert Lloyd (1761)

No statesman e'er will find it worth his pains
To tax our labours and excise our brains.

Night: An Epistle to Robert Lloyd (1761)

When foes insult, and prudent friends dispense,
In pity's strains, the worst of insolence,
Oft with thee, Lloyd, I steal an hour from grief,
And in thy social converse find relief.

Night: An Epistle to Robert Lloyd (1761)

Keep up appearances; there lies the test.
The world will give thee credit for the rest.
