Eye Nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies, And catch the manners living as they rise Laugh where we must, be candid where we can, But vindicate the ways of God to man.
Alexander Pope

Eve left Adam, to meet the Devil in private.
Alexander Pope

Charm strikes the sight, but merit wins the soul.
Alexander Pope
Image
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
Image
Never elated while one man's oppress'd Never dejected while another's blessed.
Alexander Pope
Image
Chiefs who no more in bloody fights engage, But wise through time, and narrative with age, In summer-days like grasshoppers rejoice - A bloodless race, that send a feeble voice.
Alexander Pope
Image
Then from the Mint walks forth the man of rhyme, Happy to catch me, just at dinner-time.
