• I find too there are few Friendships in the World Marriage-Proof; especially when the Person our Friend marries has not a Soul particularly capable of the Tenderness of that Endearment ... we may generally conclude the Marriage of a Friend to be the Funeral of a Friendship.

• Religion, which true policy befriends,
  Designed by God to serve man's noblest ends,
  Is by that old deceiver's subtle play
  Made the chief party in its own decay,
  And meets the eagle's destiny, whose breast
  Felt the same shaft which his own feathers drest.
