Custom, that is before all law; Nature, that is above all art.

Rule Britannia, rule the waves:Britons never will be slaves.

Beggars must be no choosers.

The best-humourd man, with the worst-humourd Muse.

Let not the pleasing many thee delight, First judge if those whom thou dost please judge right.

Only the actions of the justSmell sweet and blossom in the dust.

My rising is thy fall

A healthy hatred of scoundrels.

Clear and cool, clear and cool,By laughing shallow, and dreaming pool.

A crown! what is it?
