Additional quotes by Abraham Cowley

Unable to corrupt, seek to destroy;
And where their Poysons miss, the Sword employ.

Hence, ye profane! I hate ye all,
Both the great vulgar and the small.

We spent them not in toys, in lusts, or wine,
But search of deep philosophy,
Wit, eloquence, and poetry;
Arts which I lov'd, for they, my friend, were thine.
