It seems the part of wisdom. - William Cowper

Gloriously drunk, obey the important call.

Absence from whom we love is worse than death, And frustrate hope severer than despair.

I would not enter on my list of friends, (Though graced with polish'd manners and fine sense, Yet wanting sensibility) the man Who needlessly sets foot upon a worm. An inadvertent step may crush the snail That crawls at evening in the public path; But he that has humanity, forewarn'd, Will tread aside, and let the reptile live.
