Additional quotes by William Shenstone

Perish the lover, whose imperfect flame
Forgets one feature of the nymph he lov'd.

Let the gull'd fool the toil of war pursue,
Where bleed the many to enrich the few.

A little bench of heedless bishops here,
And there a chancellor in embryo.

Prudent men should lock up their motives, giving only their intimates a key. - William Shenstone
