Additional quotes by John Dryden

And kind as kings upon their coronation day.

Night came, but unattended with repose.
Alone she came, no sleep their eyes to close.
Alone and black she came; no friendly stars arose.

Made still a blund'ring kind of melody;
Spurred boldly on, and dashed through thick and thin,
Through sense and nonsense, never out nor in.
Free from all meaning, whether good or bad,
And in one word, heroically mad.

Tremble ye Nations who secure before, 115 Laught at those Arms that’ gainst our selves we bore; - John Dryden
