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

Additional quotes by Abraham Cowley

Let but thy wicked men from out thee go,
And all the fools that crowd thee so,
Even thou, who dost thy millions boast,
A village less than Islington wilt grow,
A solitude almost.

Fill all the glasses there, for why
Should every creature drink but I?
Why, man of morals, tell me why?

Beauty, thou wild fantastic ape
Who dost in every country change thy shape!
