Page 312 - Since trifles make the sum of human things, And half our misery from our foibles springs, Since life's best joys consist in peace and ease, And few can save or serve, but all can please, Oh! let the ungentle spirit learn from hence, A small unkindness is a great offence. Large bounties to bestow, we wish in vain, But all may shun the guilt of giving pain.
