Oh happy, (if his happiness he knows)
More quotes by Abraham Cowley
Nothing is there to come, and nothing past,
But an eternal now does always last.
An harmless flaming meteor shone for hair,
And fell adown his shoulders with loose care.
What shall I do to be forever known,
And make the age to come my own?
The fairest garden in her looks,
And in her mind the wisest books.
