Alexander Pope
Tis strange the miser should his cares employTo gain those riches he can ne'er enjoyIs it less strange the prodigal should wasteHis wealth to purchase what he ne'er can taste?
Alexander Pope
What dire offence from am'rous causes springs, What mighty contests rise from trivial things.
Alexander Pope
The cabinets of the sick and the closets of the dead have been ransacked to publish private letters and divulge to all mankind the most secret sentiments of friendship.
Alexander Pope
