Additional quotes by George Granville

Shall Nature, erring from her first command,
Self-preservation, fall by her own hand?

You'd see, cou'd you her inward motions watch,
Feigning delay, she wishes for dispatch;
Into a woman's meaning wou'd you look,
Then read her backward.

The kiss you take, is paid by that you give:
The joy is mutual, and I'm still in debt.

Beauty by no complexion is defin'd, Is of all colours, and to none confin'd. - George Granville
