1029. PARDONS.

Those ends in war the best contentment bring,
Whose peace is made up with a pardoning.


1030. PEACE NOT PERMANENT.

Great cities seldom rest; if there be none
T' invade from far, they'll find worse foes at home.


1031. TRUTH AND ERROR.

'Twixt truth and error there's this difference known;
Error is fruitful, truth is only one.


1032. THINGS MORTAL STILL MUTABLE.

The more on icy pavements we are set.

Studies themselves will languish and decay,
When either price or praise is ta'en away.

Good wits get more fame by their punishment.
