Additional quotes by Abraham Cowley

Ev'en Thou my breast with such blest rage inspire,
As mov'd the tuneful strings of Davids Lyre

Hence, ye profane! I hate ye all,
Both the great vulgar and the small.

Awake, awake, my Lyre!
And tell thy silent master's humble tale
In sounds that may prevail;
Sounds that gentle thoughts inspire:
Though so exalted she
And I so lowly be
Tell her, such different notes make all thy harmony.
