5 quotes

A very merry, dancing, drinking,
Laughing, quaffing, and unthinkable time.

The Secular Masque (1700)

Joy rul'd the day, and Love the night.

The Secular Masque (1700)

Calms appear, when storms are past,
Love will have its hour at last.

The Secular Masque (1700)

The sword within the scabbard keep,
And let mankind agree.

The Secular Masque (1700)

All, all of a piece throughout:
Thy chase had a beast in view;
Thy wars brought nothing about;
Thy lovers were all untrue.
'Tis well an old age is out,
And time to begin a new.

The Secular Masque (1700)
