Additional quotes by Abraham Cowley

Thus each extream to equal danger tends,
Plenty as well as Want can separate Friends;

The fairest garden in her looks,
And in her mind the wisest books.

Unable to corrupt, seek to destroy;
And where their Poysons miss, the Sword employ.

Here Lucifer the mighty Captive reigns; Proud, 'midst his Woes, and Tyrant in his Chains. - Abraham Cowley
