We learn by this Proverb, ne ver to be disheartened by seeming difficulties, but to pursue every honourable design with vigour and resolution. Dangers may threaten, and disasters hover over us; yet, a fixed determination to succeed, when our pursuit is vir tuous, will seldom fail of being attended by the expected success, The sense of the Proverb may be better expressed in this man nerz - A fainting spirit never atchieved a great action. For, though it is generally true, that the ladies prefer a man of courage to a cowardly one; yet, the pro verb is so often applied contrary.
