A flower, when offered in the bud,
Is no vain sacrifice.
Sacrifice to the Graces.
Plato was continually saying to Xenocrates, "Sacrifice to the Graces."
A verse may find him who a sermon flies,
And turn delight into a sacrifice.
When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.
