John Dryden
Image
Even kings but play and when their part is done, some other, worse or better, mounts the throne.

When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.
John Dryden
Image
As one that neither seeks, nor shuns his foe.

Youth should watch joys and shoot them as they fly.
John Dryden
Image
Softly sweet, in Lydian measures, Soon he sooth'd his soul to pleasures. War, he sung, is toil and trouble Honour but an empty bubble Never ending, still beginning, Fighting still, and still destroying. If all the world be worth the winning, Think, oh think it worth enjoying: Lovely Thais sits beside thee, Take the good the gods provide thee.
John Dryden
Image
I learn to pity woes so like my own.

Image
Pleasure never comes sincere to man but lent by heaven upon hard usury.
John Dryden
Image
As when the dove returning bore the mark Of earth restored to the long labouring ark The relics of mankind, secure at rest, Oped every window to receive the guest, And the fair bearer of the message bless'd.
John Dryden
Image
He was exhaled his great Creator drew His spirit, as the sun the morning dew.
John Dryden
Image
Having mourned your sin, for outward Eden lost, find paradise within.
John Dryden
Image
The perverseness of my fate is such that he's not mine because he's mine too much.
John Dryden
