Additional quotes by John Dryden

But grieve not, while thou stayest,
My last disastrous times:
Think we have had a clear and glorious day
And Heaven did kindly to delay the storm,
Just till our close of evening.

Dancing is the poetry of the foot.

Thus like a Captive in an Isle confin'd,
Man walks at large, a Pris'ner of the Mind
