Additional quotes by Thomas Gray

No further seek his merits to disclose, Or draw his frailties from their dread abode There they alike in trembling hope repose), The bosom of his Father and his God.

And moody madness laughing wild Amid severest woe.

Here rests his head upon the lap of earth
A youth to fortune and to fame unknown.
Fair Science frowned not on his humble birth,
And Melancholy marked him for her own.

Far from the sun and summer-gale, In thy green lap was Nature's Darling laid. - Thomas Gray
