Additional quotes by John Dryden

NOW with a general Peace the World was blest, While Ours, a World divided from the rest,

But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The carefull Devil is still at hand with means.
-
Ama yanlı Tabiatımız günaha meylettiği zaman
Gerekli araçlarla çıkagelir uyanık Şeytan.

But wilde Ambition loves to slide, not stand;
And Fortunes Ice prefers to Vertues Land
