Matthew Prior
For hope is but the dream of those that wake.
Prior quotes
From ignorance our comfort flows.
The only wretched are the wise.
Prior
Be to her virtues very kind;
Be to her faults a little blind;
Let all her ways be unconfined;
And clap your padlock — on her mind!




Prior Matthew quotes
Nobles and heralds, by your leave,
Here lies what once was Matthew Prior;
The son of Adam and of Eve:
Can Bourbon or Nassau claim higher?
