Additional quotes by Samuel Butler

If he that in the field is slain
Be in the bed of honour lain,
He that is beaten may be said
To lie in honour's truckle-bed.

The sun had long since in the lap
Of Thetis taken out his nap,
And, like a lobster boil'd, the morn
From black to red began to turn.

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