Happy (if mortals can be) is the man,Who, not by priest but Reason, rules his span:Reason, to its possessor a sure guide,Reason, a thorn in Revelation's side.

More quotes by Thomas Chatterton
Almighty Framer of the Skies!O let our pure devotion rise,Like Incense in thy Sight!Wrapt in impenetrable Shade,The Texture of our Souls were made,Till thy Command gave Light.
Thomas Chatterton
There is a time for all things - except marriage, my dear.
Thomas Chatterton
O, Winter! Put away thy snowy pride O, Spring! Neglect the cowslip and the bell O, Summer! Throw thy pears and plums aside O, Autumn! Bid the grape with poison swell.
Thomas Chatterton
