Additional quotes by James Thomson

For still the world prevail'd, and its dread laugh,
Which scarce the firm philosopher can scorn.

For loveliness
Needs not the foreign aid of ornament,
But is when unadorned adorned the most.

Their only labour was to kill the time;
And labour dire it is, and weary woe,
They sit, they loll, turn o'er some idle rhyme,
Then, rising sudden, to the glass they go,
Or saunter forth, with tottering steps and slow.
