Alexander Pope
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan The proper study of mankind is man.
Alexander Pope
Women use lovers as they do cards they play with them a while, and when they have got all they can by them, throw them away, call for new ones, and then perhaps lose by the new all they got by the old ones.
Alexander Pope
Behold the child, by Nature's kindly law pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Alexander Pope
