The green retreats
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.

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.
Learning will be cast into the mire and trodden down under the hoofs of a swinish multitude.
