Eclogue IV
More quotes by John Ogilby
They that have Power to do, may, when they will,
Pick Quarrels, and, pretending Justice, kill.
When they and Venus to his cottage came,
For lust-rewards prefer'd the Cyprian dame.
Then let him swear he ne'er the lady knew,
And did with her as men with women do.
