ABRAHAM COWLEY, To Dr. Scarborough
The total loss of reason is less deplorable than the total deprivation of it.
ABRAHAM COWLEY, Essays and Selected Verse
Sleep is a god too proud to wait in palaces, and yet so humble too as not to scorn the meanest country cottages.
ABRAHAM COWLEY, The Works of Mr. Abraham Cowley
Money was made, not to command our will,
But all our lawful pleasures to fulfil.
Shame and woe to us, if we our wealth obey;
The horse doth with the horseman run away.
ABRAHAM COWLEY, Imitations, Tenth Epistle of Horace
Thee are the spells that to kind sleep invite,
And nothing does within resistance make,
Which yet we moderately take;
Who would not choose to be awake.
ABRAHAM COWLEY, The Works of Mr. Abraham Cowley
