- “While thus he threw his Elbow round, Depopulating all the Ground, And, with his whistling Sythe, does cut Each stroke between the Earth and Root, The edged Stele by careless chance Did into his own Ankle glance; And there among the Grass fell down, by his own Sythe, the Mower mown.”
- “Art indeed is long, but life is short.”
- “How fit is he to sway That can so well obey ("Horatian Ode," 83-84),”
