EPIGRAMS
George Borrow translation
Honesty
No wonder honesty’s a lasting article, Seeing that people seldom use a particle.
A Politician
He served his God in such a fashion As ne’er put Satan in a passion.
The Candle
For foolish pastimes oft, full oft, they thee ignite, I oft a pastime prove for tongues with folly rife; By wasting of thyself thou yieldest others light, And I in self same way must use my luckless life.
