Additional quotes by John Conington

She turned, and flashed upon their view
Her stately neck's purpureal hue;
Ambrosial tresses round her head
A more than earthly fragrance shed:
Her falling robe her footprints swept,
And showed the goddess as she stept.

'Tis thus that men to heaven aspire:
Go on and raise your glories higher.

O Fortune, cruellest of heavenly powers,
Why make such game of this poor life of ours?

If men and mortal arms ye slight, Know there are gods who watch o'er right. - John Conington
