More Quotes from William Cowper:
A tale should be judicious, clear, succinct The language plain, and incidents well linkd Tell not as new what evry body knows and, new or old, still hasten to a close.William Cowper
A patriot's blood,Well spent in such a strife, may earn indeed,And for a time ensure to his loved land,The sweets of liberty and equal lawsBut martyrs struggle for a brighter prize,And win it with more pain. Their blood is shedIn confirmation of the noblest claim --Our claim to feed upon immortal truth,To walk with God, to be divinely free,To soar, and to anticipate the skies.Yet few remember them.
William Cowper
Oh let me then at length be taughtWhat I am still so slow to learnThat God is love, and changes not,Nor knows the shadow of a turn.
William Cowper
