Additional quotes by William Cowper

True Charity, a plant divinely nurs'd.

Fleecy locks and black complexion Cannot forfeit nature's claim; Skins may differ, but affection Dwells in white and black the same.

And the tear that is wiped with a little address, May be follow'd perhaps by a smile.

Great contest follows, and much learned dust Involves the combatants; each claiming truth, And truth disclaiming both. - William Cowper
