If by prayer Incessant I could hope to change the will Of him who all things can, I would not cease To weary him with my assiduous cries; But prayer against his absolute decree No more avails than breath against the wind Blown stifling back on him that breathes it forth: Therefore to his great bidding I submit. 1371 MILTON: _Par.

Retiring from the popular noise, I seek This unfrequented place to find some ease. 1494 MILTON: _Samson Agonistes,_ Line 16.

O blest retirement, friend to life's decline, Retreats from care that never must be mine, How happy he who crowns, in shades like these, A youth of labor, with an age of ease; Who quits a world where strong temptations try, And, since 't is hard to combat, learns to fly. 1495 GOLDSMITH: _Des.

Infinite riches in a little room. 1511 MARLOWE: _The Jew of Malta,_ Act i.

=Ridicule.=

Ridicule is a weak weapon, when levelled at a strong mind; But common men are cowards, and dread an empty laugh. 1513 TUPPER: _Proverbial Phil., Of Ridicule._

Sacred to ridicule his whole life long, And the sad burden of some merry song. 1514 POPE: Satire i., Bk. ii., Line 76.
