More From John Gay

Breathe Soft, Ye Winds! Ye Waves, In Silence Sleep!

Whence Is Thy Learning? Hath Thy Toil O'er Books Consumed The Midnight Oil?

Beasts Kill For Hunger, Men For Pay.

Praising All Alike, Is Praising None.

My Lodging Is On The Cold Ground, And Hard, Very Hard, Is My Fare, But That Which Grieves Me More Is The Coldness Of My Dear.
