First, then, a woman will or won't, depend on 't;

If she will do 't, she will; and there's an end on 't.

But if she won't, since safe and sound your trust is,

Fear is affront, and jealousy injustice.

Aaron Hill (1685-1750): Zara. Epilogue.

Dry sun, dry wind;

Safe bind, safe find.

Thomas Tusser (Circa 1515-1580): Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry. Washing.

Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution,

She lives whom we call dead.

Henry W Longfellow (1807-1882): Resignation.

Return unto thy rest, my soul,

From all the wanderings of thy thought,

From sickness unto death made whole,

Safe through a thousand perils brought.

James Montgomery (1771-1854): Rest for the Soul.
