Additional quotes by William Cowper

I play with syllables and sport in song

Nay, — conduct hath the loudest tongue. The voice
Is but an instrument on which the priest
May play what tune he pleases. In the deed,
The unequivocal authentic deed,
We find sound argument, and read the heart.

Absence of occupation is not rest; A mind quite vacant is a mind distressed.
