Fear not the anger of the wise to raise;
Those best can bear reproof who merit praise.
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
Anger wishes that all mankind had only one neck; love, that it had only one heart; grief, two tear-glands; and pride, two bent knees.
Dem tauben Grimm, der keinen Führer hört.
Deaf rage that hears no leader.
No pale gradations quench his ray,
No twilight dews his wrath allay.
Quamvis tegatur proditur vultu furor.
Anger, though concealed, is betrayed by the countenance.
Never anger made good guard for itself.
If I had a thunderbolt in mine eye,
I can tell who should down.
Being once chaf 'd, he cannot
Be rein'd again to temperance; then he speaks
What's in his heart.
Anger's my meat; I sup upon myself,
And so shall starve with feeding.
What, drunk with choler?
Anger is like
A full-hot horse; who being allowed his way,
Self-mettle tires him.
What sudden anger's this? How have I reap'd it?
He parted frowning from me, as if ruin
Leap'd from his eyes: So looks the chafed lion
Upon the daring huntsman that has gall'd him;
Then makes him nothing.
You are yoked with a lamb,
That carries anger as the flint bears fire;
Who, much enforced, shows a hasty spark.
And straight is cold again.
Touch me with noble anger!
And let not women's weapons, water drops,
Stain my man's cheeks.
The brain may devise laws for the blood; but
a hot temper leaps o'er a cold decree: such a
hare is madness the youth, to skip o'er the
meshes of good counsel, the cripple.
It engenders choler, planteth anger;
And better 'twere that both of us did fast,
Since, of ourselves, ourselves are choleric,
Than feed it with such over-roasted flesh.
Come not within the measure of my wrath.
Ne frena ammo permitte calenti;
Da spatium, tenuemque moram; male cuncta ministrat
Impetus.
Give not reins to your inflamed passions; take time and a little delay; impetuosity manages all things badly.
Not die here in a rage, like a poisoned rat in a hole.
Furor fit læsa sæpius patientia.
Patience provoked often turns to fury.
Senseless, and deformed,
Convulsive Anger storms at large; or pale,
And silent, settles into fell revenge.
Furor arma ministrat.
Their rage supplies them with weapons.
Tantsene animis cœlestibus iræ.
Can heavenly minds such anger entertain?
ANGLING
(See also Fish)
A rod twelve feet long and a ring of wire,
A winder and barrel, will help thy desire
In killing a Pike; but the forked stick,
With a slit and a bladder,—and that other fine trick,
Which our artists call snap, with a goose or a duck,—
Will kill two for one, if you have any luck;
The gentry of Shropshire do merrily smile,
To see a goose and a belt the fish to beguile;
When a Pike suns himselfe and a-frogging doth go,
The two-inched hook is better, I know,
Than the ord'nary snaring: but still I must cry,
When the Pike is at home, minde the cookery.
For angling-rod he took a sturdy oak;
For line, a cable that in storm ne'er broke;
His hook was such as heads the end of pole
To pluck down house ere fire consumes it whole;
This hook was bated with a dragon's tail,—
And then on rook he stood to bob for whale.
