Edward Young Sweet Quotations

The qualities all in a bee that we meet, In an epigram never should fail; The body should always be little and sweet, And a sting should be felt in its tail.

Sweet instinct leaps; slow reason feebly climbs.

On every thorn, delightful wisdom grows, In every rill a sweet instruction flows.

Beautiful as sweet, And young as beautiful, and soft as young, And gay as soft, and innocent as gay!

Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep! He, like the world, his ready visit pays Where fortune smiles; the wretched he forsakes.
