Leisure
 
And leave us leisure to be good.
        Gray—Hymn. Adversity. Sc. 3.		  1
No blessed leisure for Love or Hope,
But only time for Grief.
        Hood—The Song of the Shirt.		  2
            Retired Leisure,
That in trim gardens takes his pleasure.
        Milton—Il Penseroso. L. 49.		  3
Mend when thou canst; be better at thy leisure.
        King Lear. Act II. Sc. 4. L. 232.		  4
Leisure is pain; take off our chariot wheels,
How heavily we drag the load of life!
Blest leisure is our curse; like that of Cain,
It makes us wander, wander earth around
To fly that tyrant, thought.
        Young—Night Thoughts. Night II. L. 125.		  5
