| Reason to rule but mercy to forgive: the first is law; the last, prerogative. |
| Repentance is but want of power to sin. |
| Resolved to ruin or to rule the state. |
| Revenge, revenge, Timotheus cries, / See the Furies arise! |

| Seek not to know what must not be reveal, for joy only flows where fate is most concealed. A busy person would find their sorrows much more; if future fortunes were known before! |
