Additional quotes by John Dryden

All human things are subject to decay,
And, when fate summons, monarchs must obey.

Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen,
Fallen from his high estate,
And welt'ring in his blood;
Deserted, at his utmost need,
By those his former bounty fed,
On the bare earth exposed he lies,
With not a friend to close his eyes.

I have a soul that like an ample shield
Can take in all, and verge enough for more.
