Yet graceful ease, and sweetness void of pride, Might hide her faults, if belles had faults to hide: If to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face, and you'll forget 'em all.

More quotes by Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
Where'er you walk cool gales shall fan the glade, Trees where you sit shall crowd into a shade. Where'er you tread the blushing flowers shall rise, And all things flourish where you turn your eyes.
Alexander Pope

Music resembles poetry, in each Are nameless graces which no methods teach, And which a master hand alone can reach.
Alexander Pope
To balance Fortune by a just expense, Join with Economy, Magnificence.
Alexander Pope
Index-learning turns no student pale, Yet holds the eel of Science by the tail. Index-learning is a term used to mock pretenders who acquire superficial knowledge merely by consulting indexes.

Alas! the small discredit of a bribe Scarce hurts the lawyer, but undoes the scribe.
Alexander Pope
Die of a rose in aromatic pain.
