More from Alexander Pope

  1. Happy the man whose wish and care A few paternal acres bound, Content to breathe his native air In his own ground.
  2. Thus let me live, unseen, unknown; Thus unlamented let me die; Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lie.
  3. They dream in Courtship, but in Wedlock wake.
  4. The mouse that always trusts to one poor hole Can never be a mouse of any soul.
  5. Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies, And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
  6. Histories are more full of Examples of the Fidelity of dogs than of Friends.
  7. I am his Highness' dog at Kew; Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?
  8. Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, 'Let Newton be!' and all was light.
