• A little rule, a little sway,
  A sunbeam in a winter’s day,
  Is all the proud and mighty have
  Between the cradle and the grave.
  • Grongar Hill (1727), line 88.

• Ever charming, ever new,
  When will the landscape tire the view?
  • Grongar Hill (1727), line 102.

• Disparting towers
  Trembling all precipitate down dash’d,
  Rattling around, loud thundering to the moon.
  • The Ruins of Rome (1740), line 40.

• A man may go to heaven without health, without riches, without honors, without learning, without friends; but he can never go there without Christ.
  • Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 88.
