Maxioms by William Cowper
His mind his kingdom, and his will his law.
His mind his kingdom, and his will his law.
Call'd to the temple of impure delight
He that abstains, and he alone, does right.

Call'd to the temple of impure delight
He that abstains, and he alone, does right.
If a wish wander that way, call it home;
He cannot long be safe whose wishes roam.
Though peace be made, yet it's interest that keep peace.
Though peace be made, yet it's interest that keep peace.

Calls idle; and who justly in return
Esteems that busy read more
How various his employments whom the world
Calls idle; and who justly in return
Esteems that busy world an idler too!
Give what thou canst, without Thee we are poor;
And with Thee rich, take what Thou wilt away.
Give what thou canst, without Thee we are poor;
And with Thee rich, take what Thou wilt away.
