Additional quotes by John Oldham

Curse on the man who business first designed,
And by't enthralled a freeborn lover's mind!

I wear my Pen as others do their Sword.
To each affronting sot I meet, the word
Is Satisfaction: straight to thrusts I go,
And pointed satire runs him through and through.

Lord of myself, accountable to none,
But to my conscience, and my God alone.

While some no other cause for life can give But a dull habitude to live. - John Oldham
