Additional quotes by John Conington

Thus, severed by the ruthless plough,
Dim fades a purple flower:
Their weary necks so poppies bow,
O'erladen by the shower.

Let hopes and sorrows, fears and angers be,
And think each day that dawns the last you'll see;
For so the hour that greets you unforeseen
Will bring with it enjoyment twice as keen.

War, dreadful war, and Tiber flood
I see incarnadined with blood.

This to a tyrant master sold His native land for cursed gold. - John Conington
