Matthew Prior
A Rechabite poor Will must live,
And drink of Adam's ale.
Prior quotes
His noble negligences teach
What others' toils despair to reach.
Prior
Soft peace she brings; wherever she arrives
She builds our quiet as she forms our lives;
Lays the rough paths of peevish Nature even,
And opens in each heart a little heaven.




Prior Matthew quotes
Abra was ready ere I called her name;
And though I called another, Abra came.
