John Ogilby Quotes

Lost Reputation hard is to be found.

The Queen neglected Fame for Love.

Achilles Peleus Son's destructive Rage,
Great Goddess, sing, which did the Greeks engage
In many Woes, and mighty Hero's Ghosts
Sent down untimely to the Stygian Coasts:
Devouring Vultures on their Bodies prey'd,
And greedy Dogs, (so was Jove's Will obey'd;)
Because Great Agamemnon fell at odds
With stern Achilles, Off-spring of the Gods.

A horrid Monster, huge, deform'd, and blind.

He that loves Gold, starves more, the more he's fed.

One good Art's better than a thousand bad.

But who art thou? that Voyce, and beauteous Face,
Not Mortal is; thou art of Heavenly Race.

Suffer thou with patience this delay.

How could my Son so highly thee incense
What was the wasted Trojans great offence?

Live, and with Hope such happy Dayes expect.
This said, although opprest with weighty Care,
He shews glad Looks, and hides his deep Despair.

Then let him swear he ne'er the lady knew,
And did with her as men with women do.

None can Protect themselves with their own Shade.
None for themselves are born.

Arm, arm, bring Arms, the last day bids us go;
Dear Countreymen, let's once more charge the Foe;
Let us renew the Fight, on bravely fall,
We shall not perish unrevenged all.

Now know I what Love is.

Pray for wet Summers, Winters wanting Rain.
