Additional quotes by Thomas Gray

In glittering arms and glory dressed, High he rears his ruby crest. There the thundering strokes begin, There the press and there the din; Talymalfra's rocky shore Echoing to the battle's roar.

From toil he wins his spirits light, From busy day the peaceful night; Rich, from the very want of wealth, In heaven's best treasures, peace and health.

Comus and his midnight crew.

When love could teach a monarch to be wise, And gospel-light first dawn'd from Bullen's eyes. - Thomas Gray
