Mark Akenside

“Such and so various are the tastes of men.”

“The man forget not, though in rags he lies, and know the mortal through a crown's disguise.”

“This was Shakespeare's form; who walked in every path of human life, felt every passion; and to all mankind doth now, will ever, that experience yield which his own genius only could acquire.”

“Seeks painted trifles and fantastic toys, and eagerly pursues imaginary joys.”
