Get leave to work
In this world,—'tis the best you get at all.

Aurora Leigh (1856)

Free men freely work:
Whoever fears God, fears to sit at ease.

Aurora Leigh (1856)

Measure not the work
Until the day's out and the labour done,
Then bring your gauges.

Aurora Leigh (1857)

Let no one till his death
Be called unhappy. Measure not the work
Until the day's out and the labour done.

Aurora Leigh (1856)
