Additional quotes by Matthew Prior

They never taste who always drink;
They always talk who never think.

He ranged his tropes, and preached up patience;
Backed his opinion with quotations.

Our hopes, like towering falcons, aim
At objects in an airy height;
The little pleasure of the game
Is from afar to view the flight.

Venus, take my votive glass; Since I am not what I was, What from this day I shall be, Venus, let me never see. - Matthew Prior
