 Mortals, that would follow me, / Love virtue, she alone is free, / She can teach ye how to climb / Higher than the sphery chime; / Or if virtue feeble were, / Heav'n itself would stoop to her. |
| Most men admire virtue who follow not her lore |
| My fairest, my espoused, my latest found, / Heaven's last best gift, my ever new delight. |
| My race of glory run, and race of shame, / And I shall shortly be with them that rest. |
| My sentence is for open war; of wiles, / More unexpert, I boast not. |
| Necessity, the tyrant's plea |
| New Presbyter is but old Priest writ large. |
| No nightly trance or breathèd spell, / Inspires the pale-eyed priest from the prophetic cell. |
| No worthy enterprise can be done by us without continual plodding and wearisomeness to our faint and sensitive abilities |

| Nor love thy life, nor hate; but what thou liv'st, Live well, how long or short permit to heav'n |
| Nor war, or battle's sound / Was heard the world around. |
| Not to know me argues yourselves unknown. |
| Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail / Or knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt,/ Dispraise, or blame; nothing but well and fair,/ And what may quiet us in a death so noble. |
