Youth.-Home-keeping YOUTH have ever homely wits.

SHAKESPERE, Two Gentlemen, act i. sc. 1.

In the very May-morn of his YOUTH

Ripe for exploits and mighty enterprises.

Ibid., Henry V., act i. sc. 2.

O ye who teach the ingenuous YOUTH of nations—
Holland, France, England, Germany or Spain;
I pray ye flog them upon all occasions,

It mends their morals-never mind the pain.

BYRON, Don Juan, canto ii. st. 1.

From thoughtless YOUTH to ruminating age.

COWPER, Progress of Error, 1. 24.

Here rests his head upon the lap of earth,
A YOUTH to fortune and to fame unknown;
Fair Science frown'd not on his humble birth,
And Melancholy mark'd him for her own.

GRAY'S Elegy, The Epitaph.

Z.

Zadkiel.-According to the Jewish rabbins, the name of one of the angels of the seven planets; the angel of the planet Jupiter. A pseudonym of Lieutenant Morrison, of the British Navy.

Zeal.-Tell ZEAL, it lacks devotion;

Tell love, it is but lust,
Tell time, it is but motion;
Tell flesh it is but dust!

And wish them not reply,

For thou must give the lie.

Sir WALTER RALEIGH, The Lye.

We do that in our ZEAL our calmer moments would be afraid to answer.-SCOTT, Woodstock, chap. xvii.

Violent ZEAL for truth has a hundred to one odds to be either petulancy, ambition, or pride.-SWIFT, Thoughts on Religion.
