’Tis not what once it was, the world,
More quotes by Andrew Marvell
The world in all doth but two nations bear —
The good, the bad; and these mixed everywhere.
To make a bank was a great plot of state;
Invent a shovel, and be a magistrate.
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
No creature loves an empty space;
Their bodies measure out their place.
