[ once gave a lady two-and-twenty
receipts against melancholy: one was
bright fire; another, to remember
all the pleasant things said to her /;
another, to keep box of sugar plums
on the chimney~piece, and the kettle
simmering on the hobs I thought
this was trifing at the moment, but
have III after-hle discovered how true
it is, that these little pleasures often
hanish melancholy, better than high

that no means ought to be thought
too trifing, Which can oppose it,
either in ourselves or others.-Sidney
