Additional quotes by Matthew Prior

Who breathes must suffer, and who thinks must mourn;
And he alone is bless'd who ne'er was born.

He ranged his tropes, and preached up patience;
Backed his opinion with quotations.

Venus, take my votive glass;
Since I am not what I was,
What from this day I shall be,
Venus, let me never see.

And thought the nation ne'er would thrive Till all the whores were burnt alive. - Matthew Prior
