Of Thetis taken out his nap,
And, like a lobster boil'd, the morn
From black to red began to turn.

Additional quotes by Samuel Butler

They who study mathematiks only to fix their minds, and render them the steadyer to apply to all other things, as there are many who profess to do, are as wise as those who think by rowing boats, to learn to swim.

And bid the devil take the hin'most.

With books and money plac'd for show
Like nest-eggs to make clients lay,
And for his false opinion pay.
