Additional quotes by John Oldham

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

And should you visit now the seats of bliss, You need not wear another form but this.

Altho' your frailer part must yield to Fate, By every breach in that fair lodging made, Its blest inhabitant is more displayed.
