Quotes

  • This is adding insult to injuries.
  • Time still, as he flies, brings increase to her truth,And gives to her mind what he steals from her youth.
  • But beauty has wings, and too hastily flies, And love, unrewarded, soon sickens and dies.
  • O Poverty! thou source of human art,Thou great inspirer of the poet’s song!
  • Can’t I another’s face commend,And to her virtues be a friend,But instantly your forehead lours,As if her merit lessen’d yours?
  • The maid who modestly concealsHer beauties, while she hides, reveals;Give but a glimpse, and fancy drawsWhate’er the Grecian Venus was.
