Additional quotes by George Granville

Whoe'er thou art, thy Lord and master see,
Thou wast my Slave, thou art, or thou shalt be.

The sun is set—but see in bright array
What hosts of heav'nly light recruit the day!
Love in a shining galaxy appears
Triumphant still.

So many shapes have women for deceit,
That every man's a fool, when we think fit.
