Rise not till noon, if life be but a dream, As Greek and Roman poets have exprest: Add good example to so grave a theme, For he who sleeps the longest lives the best.
Matthew Prior Quotes
And ’twould be a cruel thing, When her black eyes have raised desire, Should she not her bucket bring And kindly help to quench the fire.
