Additional quotes by William Cowper

There is a pleasure in poetic pains Which only poets know.

Transforms old print To zigzag manuscript, and cheats the eyes Of gallery critics by a thousand arts.

Be trusted with the Lord.
Wait for His seasonable aid,
And though it tarry, wait:
The promise may be long delay'd,
But cannot come too late.

Presume to lay their hand upon the ark Of her magnificent and awful cause. - William Cowper
