Unblemish'd let me live, or die unknown;
O grant an honest fame, or grant me none!
The Temple of Fame (1711)
Nor Fame I slight, nor her favors call;
She comes unlooked for, if she comes at all.
The Temple of Fame (1711)
Nor Fame I slight, nor for her favors call;
She comes unlooked for, if she comes at all.

Unblemish'd let me live or die unknown;
Oh, grant an honest fame, or grant me none!
The Temple of Fame (1711)
Scarce any Tale was sooner heard than told;
And all who told it, added something new,
And all who heard it, made Enlargements too,
In ev'ry Ear it spread, on ev'ry Tongue it grew.
The Temple of Fame (1711)
The flying Rumours gather'd as they roll'd,
Scarce any Tale was sooner heard than told;
And all who told it, added something new,
And all who heard it, made Enlargements too,
In ev'ry Ear it spread, on ev'ry Tongue it grew.
