Additional quotes by William Cowper

But strive still to be a man before your mother.

And Katerfelto, with his hair on end At his own wonders, wondering for his bread. 'T is pleasant, through the loopholes of retreat, To peep at such a world,—to see the stir Of the great Babel, and not feel the crowd.

'T is Providence alone secures In every change both mine and yours.
