Eve left Adam, to meet the Devil in private.
Alexander Pope
Image
Whether the darken'd room to muse invite, Or whiten'd wall provoke the skew'r to write In durance, exile, Bedlam, or the Mint, Like Lee or Budgel I will rhyme and print.
Alexander Pope
Image
In pride, in reas'ning pride, our error lies All quit their sphere and rush into the skies. Pride still is aiming at the bless'd abodes, Men would be angels, angels would be gods.
Alexander Pope
Image
Wretches hang that jurymen may dine.
Alexander Pope
Image
To what base ends, and by what abject ways, Are mortals urg'd through sacred lust of praise!
Alexander Pope
Image
Is it, in Heav'n, a crime to love too well? To bear too tender or too firm a heart, To act a lover's or a Roman's part? Is there no bright reversion in the sky For those who greatly think, or bravely die?
Alexander Pope

Alexander Pope
Image
In death a hero, as in life a friend!
Alexander Pope
Image
To be, contents his natural desire, He asks no angel's wing, no seraph's fire But thinks, admitted to that equal sky, His faithful dog shall bear him company. Go wiser thou! and in thy scale of sense Weigh thy opinion against Providence.
Alexander Pope
Image
Speed the soft intercourse from soul to soul, And waft a sigh from Indus to the Pole.
Alexander Pope
Image
Like following life through creatures you dissect, You lose it in the moment you detect.
Alexander Pope
Image
To teach vain Wits that Science little known, T' admire Superior Sense, and doubt their own!
Alexander Pope
Image
Grave authors say, and witty poets sing, That honest wedlock is a glorious thing.
Alexander Pope
Image
Vices and virtues are of a strange nature, for the more we have, the fewer we think we have.
Alexander Pope
Image
The bookful blockhead, ignorantly read With loads of learned lumber in his head.
Alexander Pope
Image
All nature's diff'rence keeps all nature's peace.
Alexander Pope
Image
Some judge of authors' names, not works, and then Nor praise nor blame the writings, but the men.
