Why should we fear? and what? The laws?
They all are arm'd in Virtue's cause;
And aiming at the self-same end,
Satire is always Virtue's friend.

Additional quotes by Charles Churchill

Be England what she will,
With all her faults she is my country still.

Amongst the sons of men how few are known
Who dare be just to merit not their own?

There webs were spread of more than common size,
And half-starved spiders prey’d on half-starved flies.
