Additional quotes by William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling

I hope, I fear, resolved, and yet I doubt,
I'm cold as ice, and yet I burn as fire;
I wot not what, and yet I much desire,
And trembling too, am desperately stout.

Vile avarice and pride, from Heaven accurst,
In all are ill, but in a church-man worst.

That fatal sergeant, Death, spares no degree.
