4 William Cowper Quotes on Fate

William Cowper quotes on fate

4. Fate steals along with silent tread, Found oftenest in what least we dread, Frowns in the storm with angry brow, But in the sunshine strikes the blow.

9. Thus neither the praise nor the blame is our own.

19. No voice divine the storm allay'd, No light propitious shone; When, snatch'd from all effectual aid, We perish'd, each alone; But I beneath a rougher sea, And whelmed in deeper gulphs than he.

24. Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.
