Additional quotes by William Cowper

A kick that scarce would move a horse May kill a sound divine.

Now let us sing — Long live the king, And Gilpin, long live he; And, when he next doth ride abroad, May I be there to see!

I would not have a slave to till my ground, To carry me, to fan me while I sleep And tremble when I wake, for all the wealth That sinews bought and sold have ever earn'd.
