More quotes by Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea
Did I, my lines intend for public view,How many censures, would their faults pursue,Some would, because such words they do affect,Cry they're insipid, empty, uncorrect.And many, have attained, dull and untaught,The name of wit, only by finding fault.True judges, might condemn their want of wit,And all might say, they're by a woman writ.
Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea
They err, who say that husbands can't be lovers.
Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea
