Precious
 
  Precious as the Sibyl’s leaves.
            —Anonymous		  1
  Precious as enterprise.
            —Shraz Hfiz		  2
  Precious as a Grecian vase.
            —Richard Le Gallienne		  3
                Precious,
As are the conceal’d comforts of a man,
Lock’d in a woman’s love.
            —Thomas Lodge		  4
                More precious
Than the rich-jewell’d coffer of Darius.
            —William Shakespeare		  5
  Precious as is friend.
            —Wit Restored		  6
                More precious far
Than that accumulated store of gold
And orient gems, which, for a day of need,
The Sultan hides deep in ancestral tombs.
            —William Wordsworth		  7
