More quotes by Alexander Pope
No, make me mistress to the man I love If there be yet another name more free More fond than mistress, make me that to thee!
Alexander Pope
See the wild Waste of all-devouring years! How Rome her own sad Sepulchre appears, With nodding arches, broken temples spread! The very Tombs now vanish'd like their dead!
Alexander Pope
To the Elysian shades dismiss my soul, where no carnation fades.
Alexander Pope
You eat, in dreams, the custard of the day.
Alexander Pope
Of little use, the man you may suppose, Who says in verse what others say in prose Yet let me show a poet's of some weight, And (though no soldier) useful to the state, What will a child learn sooner than a song? What better teach a foreigner the tongue? What's long or short, each accent where to place And speak in public with some sort of grace?
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
Envy will merit, as its shade, pursue
Alexander Pope
Dear fatal name! rest ever unreveal'd, Nor pass these lips in holy silence seal'd. Hide it, my heart, within that close disguise, Where mixed with Gods, his lov'd idea lies: O write it not, my hand - the name appears Already written - wash it out, my tears! In vain lost Eloisa weeps and prays, Her heart still dictates, and her hand obeyes.
Alexander Pope
Praise undeserved, is satire in disguise.
Alexander Pope
To balance Fortune by a just expense, Join with Economy, Magnificence.
Alexander Pope
