| | | From bounty issues power. Akenside. | 1 |
| Our bounty, like a drop of water, disappears, when diffus’d too widely. Goldsmith. | 2 |
| The superfluous blossoms on a fruit tree are meant to symbolize the large way God loves to do pleasant things. Beecher. | 3 |
| | O blessed bounty, giving all content! |
| The only fautress of all noble arts |
| That lend’st success to every good intent. |
| A grace that rests in the most godlike hearts, |
| By heav’n to none but happy souls infus’d |
| Pity it is, that e’er thou wast abus’d. |
Drayton. | 4 | | |
