Quotes

  • But optics sharp it needs, I ween,To see what is not to be seen.
  • But as some muskets so contrive itAs oft to miss the mark they drive at,And though well aimed at duck or plover,Bear wide, and kick their owners over.
  • As though there were a tieAnd obligation to posterity.We get them, bear them, breed, and nurse:What has posterity done for us.That we, lest they their rights should lose,Should trust our necks to gripe of noose?
  • No man e'er felt the halter draw,With good opinion of the law.
