The Quotes (from Rape of the Lock)
“He watch’d th’ Ideas rising in her mind, Sudden he view’d, in spite of all her art, An earthly Lover lurking at her heart.” “Fairest of Mortals, though distinguish’d Care Of thousand bright Inhabitants of Air! If e’er one Vision touch’d thy infant Thought, of all the Nurse and all the Priest have taught, Of airy Elves by Moonlight Shadows seen, the silver Token, and the circled Green, Or Virgins visited by Angel-Pow’rs, With Golden Crowns and Wreaths of heav’nly Flow’rs, Hear and believe!”
“Then cease, bright Nymph! To mourn thy ravish’d hair, which adds new glory to the shining sphere!”
“But since, alas! frail Beauty must decay, Curl’d or uncurl’d, since Locks will turn to grey”
“Transformed to combs, the speckled, and the white. Here files of pins extend their shining rows, Puffs, Powders, Patches, Bibles, Billet-doux. Now awful Beauty puts on all its arms”
“At ev'ry word a reputation dies.”
