Here quench your thirst, and mark in me
An emblem of true charity;
Who, while my bounty I bestow.
Am neither seen, nor heard to flow. [ Hone ]

Cleanliness may be defined to be the emblem of purity of mind. [ Addison ]

Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end. [ Madame de Stael ]

Gunpowder is the emblem of politic revenge, for it biteth first and barketh afterwards; the bullet being at the mark before the noise is heard, so that it maketh a noise not by way of warning, but of triumph. [ Fuller ]
