Maxioms by Homer ("smyrns Of Chios")
These riches are possess'd, but not enjoy'd!
These riches are possess'd, but not enjoy'd!
Thin, airy shoals of visionary ghosts.
Thin, airy shoals of visionary ghosts.

Nor fraud mistrusts in virtue's fair disguise.

The fiction pleased; our generous train complies,
Nor fraud mistrusts in virtue's fair disguise.
The work she plyed, but, studious of delay,
Each following night reversed the toils of day.

Sinks my sad soul with sorrow to the grave.

And what man gives, the gods by man bestow.
Know from the bounteous heavens all riches flow;
And what man gives, the gods by man bestow.
