More quotes by Mark Akenside
The man forget not, though in rags he lies,
And know the mortal through a crown's disguise.
Oft the hours
From morn to eve have stolen unmark'd away,
While mute attention hung upon his lips.
Heaven's all-subduing will,
With good the progeny of ill,
Attempreth every state below.
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
