Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Cervantes smiled Spain's chivalry away A single laugh demolished the right arm Of his country.
Wives in their husbands' absences grow subtler, and daughters sometimes run off with the butler.
'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print. A book's a book, although there's nothing in 't.

From The French
ÆGLE, beauty and poet, has two little crimes;
She makes her own face, and does not make her rhymes.
Those who will not reason are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.
It is odd but agitation or contest of any kind gives a rebound to my spirits and sets me up for a time.
There is something Pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything.
Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.

Epitaph For William Pitt
With death doom'd to grapple,
Beneath this cold slab, he
Who lied in the Chapel
Now lies in the Abbey.
