This terrifying world is not devoid of charms, of the mornings that make waking up worthwhile.
Charms
Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.
Youth smiles without any reason. It is one of its chiefest charms.

O solitude, where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face? Better dwell in the midst of alarms, Than reign in this horrible place.
Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.
O, popular applause! what heart of man is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?
Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
And all the charms of face or voice Which I in others see, Are but the recollected choice Of what I feel for thee.
