“Most satirists are indeed a public scourge; Their mildest physic is a farrier's purge; Their acrid temper turns, as soon as stirr'd, The milk of their good purpose all to curd. Their zeal begotten, as their works rehearse, By lean despair upon an empty purse.” PurposeTurnsDespairEmptySatireMilkTemperZealPursesScourgeSatirist Book:The Poetical Works of William Cowper: With Life ; Six Engravings on Steel Source: The Poetical Works of William Cowper: With Life ; Six Engravings on Steel
“A man that loves to be peevish and paramount, and to play the sovereign at every turn, does but blast the blessings of life, and swagger away his own enjoyments; and not to enlarge upon not folly, not to mention the injustice of such a behavior, it is always the sign of a little, unbenevolent temper. It is disease and discredit all over, and there is no more greatness in it, than in the swelling of a dropsy.” MenLittlesDoePlayTurnsGreatnessBlessingDiseaseBehaviorInjusticeEnjoymentArroganceFollyTemperSovereignBlastParamountSwaggerDiscreditSwelling Author:Jeremy Collier
