I lisp'd in numbers, for the numbers came.
Alexander Pope
Most women have no characters at all.
Alexander Pope
Court-virtues bear, like gems, the highest rate, Born where Heav'n influence scarce can penetrate. In life's low vale, the soil the virtues like, They please as beauties, here as wonders strike.

Learn from the birds what food the thickets yield Learn from the beasts the physic of the field The arts of building from the bee receive Learn of the mole to plow, the worm to weave.
Alexander Pope
Statesman, yet friend to truth! of soul sincere, In action faithful, and in honour clear Who broke no promise, serv'd no private end, Who gain'd no title, and who lost no friend.

Lo! the poor Indian! whose untutor'd mind Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind His soul proud Science never taught to stray Far as the solar walk or milky way.
Alexander Pope
But thousands die without or this or that, Die, and endow a college or a cat.
Alexander Pope
All seems infected that th' infected spy, As all looks yellow to the jaundiced eye.
Alexander Pope
In vain sedate reflections we would make When half our knowledge we must snatch, not take.
Alexander Pope
Tis from high Life high Characters are drawn A Saint in Crape is twice a Saint in Lawn: A Judge is just, a Chanc'llor juster still A Gownman learn'd a Bishop what you will Wise if a minister but if a King, More wise, more learn'd, more just, more ev'rything.
Alexander Pope
