Alexander Pope
Lend, lend your wings! I mount! I fly! O grave! where is thy victory? O death! where is thy sting?
Alexander Pope
And each blasphemer quite escape the rod, Because the insult's not on man, but God?
Alexander Pope
Vice is a monster of so frightful mien As to be hated needs but to be seen Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
Alexander Pope
The doubtful beam long nods from side to side.
