The hollow-hearted, disaffected, And close malignant are detected ; Who lay their lives and fortunes down, For pledges to secure our own.

Additional quotes by Samuel Butler

And poets by their sufferings grow;
As if there were no more to do,
To make a poet excellent,
But only want and discontent.

He made an instrument to know
If the moon shine at full or no.

But Hudibras gave him a twitch
As quick as lightning in the breech,
Just in the place where honour's lodg'd,
As wise philosophers have judg'd;
Because a kick in that part more
Hurts honour than deep wounds before.

The hollow-hearted, disaffected, And close malignant are detected ; Who lay their lives and fortunes down, For pledges to secure our own. - Samuel Butler
