Additional quotes by John Ogilby

At last a pleasant river's mouth he finds,
Free from rough clifts, safe from disturbing winds.

Then Arts began; fierce toyl through all things breaks,
And urgent Want strange Projects undertakes.

For lust-rewards prefer'd the Cyprian dame.

But Ajax now no longer thought it good To keep his post, and stand where others stood. - John Ogilby
