More Quotes By Abraham Cowley
A mighty pain to love it is, And 't is a pain that pain to miss; But of all pains, the greatest pain It is to love, but love in vain.
May I a small house and large garden have; And a few friends, And many books, both true.
What shall I do to be for ever known, And make the age to come my own?
The world's a scene of changes and to be constant in nature is inconstancy.
This only grant me that my means may lie too low for envy for contempt too high.
