More quotes by Mark Akenside
The man forget not, though in rags he lies, And know the mortal through a crown's disguise.
Mark Akenside
Truth and Good are one and Beauty dwells in them, and they in her.
Mark Akenside
This was Shakespeare's form Who walk'd in every path of human life, Felt every passion and to all mankind Doth now, will ever, that experience yield Which his own genius only could acquire.
Mark Akenside

Mark Akenside
Away! Away! Tempt me no more insidious love.
