For contemplation he and valour formed; / For softness she and sweet attractive grace, / He for God only, she for God in him: / His fair large front and eye sublime declared / Absolute rule.

All sunshine without a little rain makes a desert.

Whatever he did, was done with so much ease, In him alone 'twas natural to please.
