An harmless flaming meteor shone for hair,

Additional quotes by Abraham Cowley

His faith, perhaps, in some nice tenets might
Be wrong; his life, I'm sure, was in the right.

A mighty pain to love it is,
And 't is a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain.

Hope, of all ills that men endure,
The only cheap and universal cure.

An harmless flaming meteor shone for hair, And fell adown his shoulders with loose care. - Abraham Cowley
