Additional quotes by William Collins

Too nicely Jonson knew the critic's part;
Nature in him was almost lost in Art.

To fair Fidele's grassy tomb
Soft maids and village hinds shall bring
Each opening sweet of earliest bloom,
And rifle all the breathing spring.

In numbers warmly pure and sweetly strong.

By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung. - William Collins
