Additional quotes by John Dryden

Men are but children of a larger growth; Our appetites as apt to change as theirs, And full as craving, too, and full as vain.

Night came, but unattended with repose.
Alone she came, no sleep their eyes to close.
Alone and black she came; no friendly stars arose.

The people's prayer, the glad diviner's theme, The young men's vision, and the old men's dream!
