Additional quotes by William Cowper

Now stir the fire, and close the shutters fast,
Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa round,
And, while the bubbling and loud hissing urn
Throws up a steamy column and the cups
That cheer but not inebriate, wait on each,

There is mercy in every place, And mercy, encouraging thought! Gives even affliction a grace And reconciles man to his lot.
