Even victors are by victories undone.
Thus all below is strength, and all above is grace.
Resolved to ruin or to rule the state.
Fattened in vice, so callous and so gross, he sins and sees not, senseless of his loss.
Uncertain whose the narrowest span,--the clown unread, or half-read gentleman.
He invades authors like a monarch; and what would be theft in other poets is only victory in him.
