transcription: robin nest with thee at Spring's
awakening? The romping brook will
never chide thee, but ever coax thee on,
and shouldst thou be impaled upon a
thorny branch, what then? Try not a
flight. Thy sisters call thee. Could
crocus spring from frost, and wilt thou
let the violet shrink and die? Nay,
speed not, for God hath not a mast for
thee provided"

"Heart of my soul, bestest thou in
accord with that of they tabernacle,
which singest thou a secondary melody,
afeared, afeared, afeared?
"Am I a broken lyre, who, at the
Master's touch respondeth with a
tinkle and a whir, or am I strung
in full and at His touch give forth
the full chord?"
-------------
"I waste my substance on the weaving
of web and the storing of pebbles.
"When shall I build mine house and
when fill the purse? Oh, that my
fancy weaved not but web, and desire
picketh not but pebbles! Bah! 'tis
bally reasoning!"
(This reference was not quite understood.)
Patience: "Mayhap the goose hath reason to tickle
herself for the bargain, but I am wiser."
Mrs. C: "We don't understand."
Patience: "Treacle runneth slowly."
Mrs. H: "Patience, do you think that you made a
bad bargain when you came to us?"
Patience: "Thou hast a godly store of heart
and love. May I not neighbor with thee?
A pot loaned is not lost."
Mrs. P: "Not if you lend it to the right one."
