- Hope
- n. Desire and expectation rolled into one.
- Delicious Hope! when naught to man it left — Of fortune destitute, of friends bereft; When even his dog deserts him, and his goat With tranquil disaffection chews his coat While yet it hangs upon his back; then thou, The star far-flaming on thine angel brow, Descendest, radiant, from the skies to hint The promise of a clerkship in the Mint.
- Fogarty Weffing
