Ambrose Philips

"Studious of ease and fond of humble things."

"The flowers anew returning seasons bring! But beauty faded has no second spring."

"There solid billows of enormous size, Alps of green ice, in wild disorder rise."

"The stag in limpid currents with surprise Sees crystal branches on his forehead rise."

"He the robe of justice wore, Sully'd not, as heretofore, When the magistrate was sought With yearly gifts. Of what avail Are guilty hoards? for life is frail; And we are judg'd where favour is not bought."

"Timely blossom, Infant fair, Fondling of a happy pair."

"And thou shalt in thy daughter see, This picture, once, resembled thee."

"Wearied then and glad of rest, Like the linnet in the nest."
