People may have too much of a good thing:
More quotes by John Wolcot
Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt,
And every grin so merry draws one out.
A fellow in a market town,
Most musical, cried razors up and down.
What rage for fame attends both great and small!
Better be damned than mentioned not at all.
No, let the monarch’s bags and others hold
The flattering, mighty, nay, al-mighty gold.
