  • Aaron Hill Youth is ever apt to judge in haste,
    And lose the medium in the wild extreme,
    Do not repent, but regulate your passion:

    Give me, at least, your promise to reflect,
    In cool, impartial solitude, and still.
    No last decision till we meet again.
    Alzira (1736) Act IV, Scene 1.
    Aaron Hill
    English dramatist and writer (1685 - 1750)
