Strength and wisdom

Bodily exercise is of some value but ...

From Samson Agonistes


O impotence of mind, in body strong!
But what is strength without a double share
Of wisdom ...



Immeasurable strength they might behold
In me, of wisdom nothing more then mean;
This with the other should, at least, have paired,
These two proportiond ill drove me transverse.
