Additional quotes by Thomas Tickell

I hear a voice you cannot hear, Which says I must not stay;
I see a hand you cannot see, Which beckons me away.

Just men, by whom impartial laws were given;
And saints who taught and led the way to heaven.

Fight virtue's cause, stand up in wit's defence,
Win us from vice, and laugh us into sense.

though every friend be fled, Lo! Envy waits, that lover of the dead. - Thomas Tickell
