John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

Edmund Clarence Stedman. (1833–1908)

I dare aver
He is a brave discoverer
Of climes his elders do not know.
He has more learning than appears
On the scroll of twice three thousand years.

The Discoverer.

    Crops failed; wealth took a flight; house, treasure, land,
  Slipped from my hold—thus plenty comes and goes.
One friend I had, but he too loosed his hand
  (Or was it I?) the year I met with Rose.

The World well lost.

Give me to die unwitting of the day,
And stricken in Life’s brave heat, with senses clear!

Mors Benefica.
