Additional quotes by William Collins

Well may your hearts believe the truths I tell:
'T is virtue makes the bliss, where'er we dwell.

But thou, lorn stream, whose sullen tide
No sedge-crown'd sister now attend,
Now waft me from the green hill's side
Whose cold turf hides the buried friend!

In yonder Grave a Druid lies
Where slowly winds the Stealing Wave!
The Year's best Sweets shall duteous rise
To deck its Poet's sylvan Grave!

When Music, heavenly maid, was young, While yet in early Greece she sung. - William Collins
