Additional quotes by John Wolcot

Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt,
And every grin so merry draws one out.

What rage for fame attends both great and small!
Better be damned than mentioned not at all.

A fellow in a market town,
Most musical, cried razors up and down.

No, let the monarch’s bags and others hold The flattering, mighty, nay, al-mighty gold. - John Wolcot
