“Tis not such lines as almost crack the stage
When Bajazet begins to rage;

Nor the dry chips of short-lunged Seneca.

And force some odd similitude.
What is it then, which like the power divine
We only can by negatives define?”
—Abraham Cowley (16181667)
“What forests of laurel we bring, and the tears of mankind, to those who stood firm against the opinion of their contemporaries!”
