Additional quotes by Matthew Prior

Be to her virtues very kind;
Be to her faults a little blind;
Let all her ways be unconfined;
And clap your padlock — on her mind!

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

Our hopes, like towering falcons, aim
At objects in an airy height;
The little pleasure of the game
Is from afar to view the flight.

Cured yesterday of my disease, I died last night of my physician. - Matthew Prior
