Additional quotes by Samuel Rogers

Oh ! She was good as she was fair,
None—none on earth above her!
As pure in thought as angels are:
To know her was to love her.

Hence, to the realms of Night, dire Demon, hence!
Thy chain of adamant can bind
That little world, the human mind,
And sink its noblest powers to impotence.

A guardian angel o'er his life presiding,
Doubling his pleasures, and his cares dividing.

The good are better made by ill, As odours crushed are sweeter still. - Samuel Rogers
