Quotes
- “O incredulity! the wit of fools,That slovenly will spit on all things fair,The coward’s castle, and the sluggard’s cradle.”
- “Homer's poems were writ from a free fury, an absolute and full soul; Virgil's out of a courtly, laborious, and altogether imitatory spirit: not a simile he hath but is Homer's; not an invention, person, or disposition but is wholly or originally built upon Homerical foundations, and in many places hath the very words Homer useth.”
- “Virtue is not malicious; wrong done herIs righted even when men grant they err.”
- “For one heat, all know, doth drive out another,One passion doth expel another still.”
- “Let no man value at a little priceA virtuous woman's counsel; her wing'd spiritIs feather'd oftentimes with heavenly words.”
- “Great goddess, to whose throne in Cynthian fires,This earthly altar endless fumes expires;Therefore, in fumes of sighs and fires of grief,To fearful chances thou send'st bold relief,Happy, thrice happy type, and nurse of death,Who, breathless, feeds on nothing but our breath,In whom must virtue and her issue live,Or die for ever.”
