Additional quotes by McDonald Clarke

Ha! see where the wild-blazing Grog-shop appears,
As the red waves of wretchedness swell;
How it burns on the edge of tempestuous years— The horrible Light-house of Hell!

Tis vain for present fame to wish--
Our persons first must be forgotten;
For poets are like stinking fish--
They never shine until they're rotten.

Whilst twilight's curtain spreading far, Was pinned with a single star. - McDonald Clarke
