Horses (thou say'st) and asses men may try, And ring suspected vessels ere they buy But wives, a random choice, untried they take They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake Then, nor till then, the veil's removed away, And all the woman glares in open day.

Alexander Pope
Image
Order is Heaven's first law and this confessed, some are, and must be, greater than the rest, more rich, more wise but who infers from hence that such are happier, shocks all common sense. Condition, circumstance, is not the thing bliss is the same in subject or in king.
Alexander Pope
Image
The doubtful beam long nods from side to side.
Alexander Pope
Image
Of darkness visible so much be lent, as half to show, half veil, the deep intent.

Alexander Pope
Image
The difference is as great between The optics seeing as the objects seen. All manners take a tincture from our own Or come discolor'd through out passions shown Or fancy's beam enlarges, multiplies, Contracts, inverts, and gives ten thousand dyes.
Alexander Pope
Image
Art still followed where Rome's eagles flew.
