the Son of Heaven's Eternal King, Of wedded maid and virgin mother born, Our great redemption from above did bring; For so the holy sages once did sing,    That he our deadly forfeit should release,  And with his Father work us a perpetual peace. That glorious form, that light insufferable,  And that far-beaming blaze majesty, Wherewith he wont at Heaven's high council-table To sit the midst of Trinal Unity He laid aside, and, here with us to be.    Forsook the courts of everlasting day,  And chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay.  Say, Heavenly Muse, shall not thy sacred vein  Afford a present to the Infant God? Hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,  To welcome him to this his new abode,  Now while the heaven, by the Sun's team untrod,    Hath took no print of the approaching light,  And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright? See how from far upon the eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet! Oh, run! present them with thy humble ode, And lay it lowly at his blessed feet; Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greet,    And join thy voice unto the Angel Quire,  From out his secret altar touched with hallowed fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The need for prostitution arises from the fact that many men are either unmarried or away from their wives on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53995]]></link><description><![CDATA[The need for prostitution arises from the fact that many men are either unmarried or away from their wives on journeys, that such men are not content to remain continent, and that in a conventionally virtuous community they do not find respectable women.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To a close shorne sheepe, God gives wind by measure. [To a close shorn sheep, God gives wind by measure.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49991]]></link><description><![CDATA[To a close shorne sheepe, God gives wind by measure. [To a close shorn sheep, God gives wind by measure.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deception follows on the heels of deception. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deception follows on the heels of deception.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45407]]></link><description><![CDATA[I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For 'tis impossible Hate to return with love.  [It., Che amar chi t'odia, ell'e impossibil cosa.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25612]]></link><description><![CDATA[For 'tis impossible Hate to return with love.  [It., Che amar chi t'odia, ell'e impossibil cosa.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Borrow money from a pessimist - they don't expect it back ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Borrow money from a pessimist - they don't expect it back]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't need a great low-post player to be a top team.
