What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn't much better than tedious disease.
Alexander PopeShe who ne'er answers till a husband cools, Or, if she rules him, never shows she rules; Charms by accepting, by submitting, sways, Yet has her humor most, when she obeys.
Alexander PopeBlest paper-credit! last and best supply! That lends corruption lighter wings to fly!
Alexander PopeDear fatal name! rest ever unreveal'd, Nor pass these lips in holy silence seal'd. Hide it, my heart, within that close disguise, Where mixed with Gods, his lov'd idea lies: O write it not, my hand - the name appears Already written - wash it out, my tears! In vain lost Eloisa weeps and prays, Her heart still dictates, and her hand obeyes.
Alexander Pope
