Additional quotes by Abraham Cowley

When Israel was from bondage led,
Led by the Almighty's hand
From out of foreign land,
The great sea beheld and fled.

Ev'en Thou my breast with such blest rage inspire,
As mov'd the tuneful strings of Davids Lyre

Hope, of all ills that men endure,
The only cheap and universal cure.
