=Constancy.=

I am constant as the northern star,
Of whose true-fix'd, and resting quality
There is no fellow in the firmament.

SHAKS.: _Jul. Cæsar,_ Act iii., Sc. 1.

But whispering tongues can poison truth,
And constancy lives in realms above.

To die: to sleep:
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to,--'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd.
