Oh ! She was good as she was fair,
More quotes by Samuel Rogers
The good are better made by ill,
As odours crushed are sweeter still.
Fireside happiness, to hours of ease
Blest with that charm, the certainty to please.
Thou first, best friend that Heav'n assigns below
To sooth and sweeten all the cares we know.
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.
