Additional quotes by Abraham Cowley

Oh happy, (if his happiness he knows)
The Countrey Swain! on whom kind Heav'n bestows
At home all Riches that wise Nature needs;
Whom the just Earth with easie plenty feeds.

His faith, perhaps, in some nice tenets might
Be wrong; his life, I'm sure, was in the right.

Thus would I double my life's fading space;
For he that runs it well, runs twice his race.
