Additional quotes by William Collins

Fill'd with fury, rapt, inspired.

Now air is hushed, save where the weak-eyed bat,
With short shrill shriek flits by on leathern wing,
Or where the beetle winds
His small but sullen horn,
As oft he rises 'midst the twilight path,
Against the pilgrim borne in heedless hum.

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

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