What rage for fame attends both great and small!
More quotes by John Wolcot
Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt,
And every grin so merry draws one out.
People may have too much of a good thing:
Full as an egg of wisdom thus I sing.
A fellow in a market town,
Most musical, cried razors up and down.
No, let the monarch’s bags and others hold
The flattering, mighty, nay, al-mighty gold.
