Letter "W" » William Cowper Quotes

«Great princes have great playthings.»
«When this poor, lisping, stammering tongue/ Lies silent in the grave.»
«Made poetry a mere mechanic art; / And every warbler has his tune by heart.»
«With outstretched hoe I slew him at the door, / And taught him NEVER TO COME THERE NO MORE.»
«Regions Caesar never knew / Thy posterity shall sway.»
«So turning to his horse, he said, / I am in haste to dine; / 'Twas for your pleasure you came here, / You shall go back for mine.»
«All constraint, / Except what wisdom lays on evil men, / Is evil.»
«My God, till I received thy stroke, / How like a beast was I! / So unaccustomed to the yoke, / So backward to comply.»
«O solitude, where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face? Better dwell in the midst of alarms, Than reign in this horrible place.»
