Additional quotes by William Rounseville Alger

An Arab, by his earnest gaze, Has clothed a lovely maid with blushes;
A smile within his eyelids plays And into words his longing gushes.

Fill up the goblet and reach to me some!
Drinking makes wise, but dry fasting makes glum.

God's mills grind slow,
But they grind woe.

The moon is a silver pin-head vast, That holds the heaven's tent-hangings fast. - William Rounseville Alger
